How are they still deliberating? It shouldn’t have taken more than an hour for the not guilty verdict. That the DA even took this to trial is an embarrassment to NYC.

Damn! You people always find a way to justify the killing of unarmed Black people.

Why do you people always use race to justify harassing and threatening others? Is it really ok for him to do that just because he was black?

I've been on the train many times when people of all stripes have shouted and behaved erratically. Some people don't see POC as human beings, therefore no amount of force is too much. It's your Innate fear of Black people that make you overreact and kill people when they're unarmed.

Has nothing to do with him being black; it has everything to do with him being deranged and threatening people.

Embarrassing? The guy was causing trouble - but come on, he choked an unarmed homeless mentally ill guy to death. People were pleading with him to stop -

He choked out a man who was harassing and threatening the other passengers on the train. He was still alive when Penny released him, and he placed him in a recovery position until authorities could arrive at the next stop. Passengers were thanking him after

Listen to the video tapes - at least 2 people were yelling at him to stop that he was going to kill the guy.

I’ve seen the video. Most were appreciative and one guy was helping him

Almost every video of someone being chocked out in real-life has someone shouting in the background "you're killing him". Usually it's the drunk girlfriend, but not in all cases. This is not a valid argument. They're (usually) just hysterical. This is a broken clock is correct twice a day situation.

Huh? This is nonsense and crazy talk - he choked the guy - the guy was subdued, people begged for him to stop - he didn’t and the guy died. Someone “choked out” in real life? Now it is a regular occurrence? “Drunken girlfriend”? Huh? Please put down the crack pipe Rambo.

So, in this video youtu.be/sIFAoHaeq5o?... that it took me a little over a minute to find, what do you hear in the background as soon as he starts choking him? "Stop stop stop. no no no. whoa!". You might not choose to live in reality. Don't you dare try and gaslight others.

Read the coroner testimony. He was dead before Penny finished choking him.

I will look for that. But there is video of him moving on the ground while Penny is elevating his legs into the recovery position

Don't give in. Release Daniel Penny with a NOT GUILTY!

Bragg is a moron

The fact that there are holdouts gives me some faith. The judge not dismissing the case gives me less faith.

Another serious miscarriage of Justice. Karen Read is the other. Former prosecuted by a racially biased DA. Latter prosecuted by a corrupt DA. Bias and corruption travel together. Kick back, Bragg?

Screw this guy! He needs to be on the list with the billionaires and CEOs!

Amen

Look at the facts. Not guilty.

The facts are Penny used excessive force and choked a human being to death, while bystanders were pleading with him to stop.

Saying "the facts are..." and following it with omitting relevant facts, tells me everything I need to ever know about you.

The guy was a threat to others, as witnesses corroborated. Marines are trained to neutralize threats. FAFO.

He was right to intervene, he was wrong to murder this man, it is manslaughter.

Acquit him and give him a medal on the way out the door. Any place else other than New York City.

This shouldn't have even gone to trial. Only in the territory with this moron AG would this case go as far as it did. If NYC did their job to protect the citizens and make the subways safe, this wouldn't have happened.

I wonder why the jury don't ask themselves why this guy choked the victim until he was dead?

The people on the jury could have a Daniel Penny come after them if they didn't like the way one was acting. What if you had a,stoke an epileptic fit or a diabetic crisis that makes one look drunk and disorderly?

Lock him up and stop making murderers victims!

It was depraved indifference.

The people on the jury ride the train too.
