Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed the manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny after jury couldn’t agree.
Jurors will now deliberate on the lesser charge of ‘criminally negligent homicide.’
That charge carries up to four years in prison.
But that should be dropped as well.
Why?
Because it wasn’t the chokehold that caused Jordan Neely’s death.
Even the forensic pathologist points it out:
Watch
The forensic pathologist said the chokehold alone did not kill Jordan Neely, his blood condition, synthetic Marijuana, schizophrenia, exertion is what killed Neely

This whole case is nonsense.
A great example of a two-tiered system.
Fox News reports:
Jurors on the Daniel Penny chokehold trial returned to deliberations for a fourth day Friday for just an hour before telling the court they could not come to an agreement on the top charge, manslaughter, as they weigh the fate of a 26-year-old Marine veteran and architecture student accused of killing a mentally ill homeless man who threatened to kill people on a Manhattan subway car.
Around 11 a.m., the jurors sent a note to the court stating, “We the jury request instructions from Judge [Maxwell] Wiley. At this time, we are unable to come to a unanimous vote on count 1 – manslaughter in the second degree.”
The judge sent them back to deliberate more, but they told the court shortly after 3 p.m. that they still could not reach a unanimous decision.
The charge requires prosecutors to prove that Penny acted with recklessness when he grabbed Jordan Neely in a chokehold. Neely had barged onto the train while high on drugs, threatening to kill passengers during a psychotic episode, according to trial testimony.

In case you’ve forgotten, he was still alive when police arrived.
I feel like not enough people know this about the Daniel Penny trial testimony:

Jordan Neely was arrested over 40 times.
Once for punching a 64-year-old man in the face at different subway station, and another time for the attempted kidnapping of a 7-year-old girl.

But here’s the thing….
It’s not actually good news, no time to celebrate just yet.
In fact, his Defense team actually RESISTED the dismissal because what it really does is dangles the lesser charge of “criminally negligent homicide” in front of the jury and entices them to choose that instead:
Breaking: The judge in the Daniel Penny case has DISMISSED the first manslaughter charge against him.
But don’t celebrate yet: This is actually a desperate bid to get him convicted on the second charge, and his defense team opposed it for that reason. The whole move may well be…

As Charlie Kirk points it, it’s so unusual it might not even be legal in the first place:
Breaking: The judge in the Daniel Penny case has DISMISSED the first manslaughter charge against him.
But don’t celebrate yet: This is actually a desperate bid to get him convicted on the second charge, and his defense team opposed it for that reason. The whole move may well be illegal.
New York is outrageously obsessed with putting an innocent hero in prison.
Where is the ACLU to defend Daniel Penny?
Why isn’t the DOJ’s Civil Rights investigating DA Alvin Bragg for what is clearly a racially motivated prosecution?
And where is the @ACLU at, and why haven’t they come to the defense of hero Daniel Penny? pic.twitter.com/e8S6EuRkqb
