Lawsuit would target DA Alvin Bragg and the medical examiner's office..
Marine veteran Daniel Penny's defense team is eyeing a malicious prosecution lawsuit against District Attorney Alvin Bragg and others behind the charges, turning the tables after the lengthy high-profile case concluded with an acquittal.
"Just like Danny said in his interview, it was like they wanted to try and get him on something," Penny's defense attorney Steven Raiser said Wednesday, reacting to the acquittal on "Fox & Friends."
"They knew they weren't going to be able to get him, so they had to get rid of that top count in order to get to that second count, just in hopes that maybe they could pull out a win here, and they were unsuccessful, thank God."
Raiser said the suit would target Bragg for "blurring" the "ethical lines" with the case's handling. The filing would also home in on the medical examiner's office, which he alleged colluded with Bragg's office.
"The record was made fairly clear as to the extent of his involvement and what occurred here," he said. "He was appointed by Mayor Adams, [who belongs to the] same political party as Alvin Bragg. There was collusion there, and the collusion began from the very beginning of this case and all the way through. The district attorney needed the medical examiner and needed the medical examiner to act quickly, and he did just that."

Nifong the bastard
I HOPE HE DOES EXACTLY THAT.
THE OUT OF CONTROL BRAGG NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.
Bragg and the Judge need to be locked up and made to pay personal Buck$.
Unfortunately Penny's life will never be the same but he is certain that he did the right thing.
With 𝕏 and Community Notes it’s becoming easier to see how fake and manufactured the racial narrative has been.
Imagine if we had this in 2020.

sue any and everyone involved in this BS.
It was only yesterday, a jury of his peers absolved Penny of guilt in the subway matter.
And today, Black Lives Matter is gearing up for wides[read looting
because stealing electronics and cigarettes is the best way to grieve.
Yeah! Bust up the fatboy Alvin gang out of New Yawk City.
In Penny’s wildly successful future.......a book, a memoir, a major film, a tv movie of
the week, an heroic action figure, a podcast, a Congressional Medal of Honor, a lawsuit.
Penny’s defense atty Steven Raiser, reacting to the acquittal on “Fox & Friends.”
<><>Bragg had to vanish that top count, vainly relying on the second count to pull out a “win”
<><>exposes Bragg for “blurring” the “ethical lines” WRT Bragg’s botched handling of the case
<><>also exposes the medical examiner’s office, which obviously colluded with Bragg’s office.
Other colluders were probably Mayor Adams, Black Lives Maters, Biden-Harris.....etc.
I’m hoping Trump can offer him a job and or schooling opportunities which would include protection for Daniel and has family. He’s my grandson’s age...I can’t imagine.
As of now, Penny can write his own ticket to any place he wants to go.
To maintain that Fourth Amendment claim under §1983, a plaintiff such as Thompson must demonstrate, among other things, that he obtained a favorable termination of the underlying criminal prosecution. Cf. Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 484, and n. 4 (1994). This case requires us to flesh out what a favorable termination entails. Does it suffice for a plaintiff to show that his criminal prosecution ended without a conviction? Or must the plaintiff also demonstrate that the prosecution ended with some affirmative indication of his innocence, such as an acquittal or a dismissal accompanied by a statement from the judge that the evidence was insufficient?
We conclude as follows: To demonstrate a favorable termination of a criminal prosecution for purposes of the Fourth Amendment claim under §1983 for malicious prosecution, a plaintiff need only show that his prosecution ended without a conviction. Thompson satisfied that requirement in this case. We therefore reverse the judgment of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
WTH is there to PONDER!!!
