Daniel Penny’s lawyer says the former Marine stepped up for other straphangers before fatal chokehold of Jordan Neely.
Daniel Penny, the Marine who placed Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold, “should be celebrated” for jumping into action “for the benefit of others” on the crowded Manhattan subway, his lawyer asserted in a new radio interview.was arraigned“He didn’t enter the subway seeking to harm anyone. He didn’t attack anyone,” Kenniff said of Penny.
“The reality is that there is not a single living, breathing New Yorker — particularly anyone who rides the subways — who can’t relate to exactly the sort of situation that my client and the other passengers on the train were confronted with,” Kenniff said in Friday’s radio interview.Kenniff told the hosts his team is conducting a “very active investigation” that he said will absolve Penny of the charges against him.
The legal team pushed for a second-degree murder charge — Penny had undergone extensive physical training and knew he was pushing the chokehold maneuver to the fatal limit, they argued.
