Retired Judge Andrew Napolitano had positive things to say about NYC subway “hero” Daniel Penny following his acquittal over charges related to the death of Jordan Neely.
Penny, who applied a chokehold to restrain Neely on a New York City subway car in May 2023 after the homeless man got on and immediately began threatening to harm or kill passengers, was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide on Monday.
“Listen, I’m happy with the outcome of the criminal case as well. He can’t go to jail, and he shouldn’t go to jail. And he’s a hero in New York City, obviously not to everybody, but to a lot of us,” Napolitano told Newsmax TV host Carl Higbie.
