Judge Dismisses Manslaughter Charges Against Daniel Penny

[excalibur]

The jury will return Monday to consider the lesser charge. The lesser charge is negligent homicide.

A judge granted the prosecution’s motion to dismiss the more serious charge of second-degree manslaughter against Daniel Penny on Friday in his trial over the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway last year, clearing the way for the jury to consider the remaining lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.

The ruling came after a Manhattan jury said they were deadlocked twice on the charge. Penny’s defense attorneys maintained their motion for a mistrial.

Over defense objections, Judge Maxwell Wiley agreed with prosecutors who argued that dismissing the first count of second-degree manslaughter eliminates the defense’s concern about a compromise verdict.

Wiley told the jury that the second-degree manslaughter charge has been dismissed “functionally,” allowing them to now consider the remaining charge of criminally negligent homicide.

Whoever the holdout/holdouts were I hope they stand just as strong on the second charge and send a message to NYC.

The lesser charge is still a 4-year sentence. No good for a hero. Hope the jury hangs again and the judge dismisses the case.

The judge made another appealable ruling should they convict Penny on the lesser charge.

In his original jury instructions, he [the judge] told the jury they could not consider the lesser charge until they decided on the more serious charge.

Well, he's already served a couple of years, hasn't he, if worse comes to worst?

I would have to guess the only hold out is an IM2 wannabe who wants blood from whitey for any reason real or imagined.

11 - Not guilty on all charges
1 - Guilty on all charges.

Huh?

“We just went to the ground. He was trying to roll up, I had him pretty good. I was in the Marine Corps, (blowhard tough guy)" he told officers.

According to the NYPD, a 24-year-old man subdued Neely, who was allegedly harassing passengers and making threats. Police sources told ABC News that the man was not specifically being threatened by Neely when he intervened.

What would have happened if he decided not to step in, and that person ended up killing a couple of people? Knowing he could have done something, but didn't.

How would you all feel then?

What defect would vote guilty? There is definitely reasonable doubt here. People in NYC are dumb.

The "doctor" who killed my husband by giving him a drug he never should have been given might be guilty of negligent homicide. Will she ever even see the inside of a courtroom?

Nope.

If he's found guilty of anything Trump should pardon him.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The next charge will not be met. He will walk.

Trump cannot pardon Penny, kyzr, unless it is a federal trial.
