Jury in Daniel Penny Case Focuses on Medical Evidence During First Full Day of Deliberations

Jury in Penny Case Focuses on Medical Evidence” So wrong.

Penny saved lives. End of story. How is the jury not focused on that? It’s not one consideration, it’s the only consideration.

Jury in Penny Case Focuses on Medical Evidence, Grisly Video of Michael Jackson Impersonator’s Final Moments, During First Full Day of Deliberations

In other trial news, the defense complained to the judge about a protester who was salaciously taunting Mr. Penny when he got into his vehicle.

On the second day of deliberations, the jury in the trial of the Marine veteran, Daniel Penny, requested to review key pieces of evidence, signaling that the defense’s claims of self-defense, or defense of others, may not have convinced the jurors. Meanwhile the defense complained to the judge about a protester who had called out insults at Mr. Penny, demanding to remove him from the courtroom.

The first note from the jury came at 11 am. The presiding judge, Maxwell Wiley, read out loud that the jury was requesting to review three videos: The video, recorded by the freelance journalist Alberto Vazquez during the tragic moment when Mr. Penny held a homeless Michael Jackson impersonator, Jordan Neely, in a chokehold on the floor of a New York subway car last year. A compilation video, made by the prosecution, of the body camera footage from police officers who first responded to the scene, trying in vain to revive an unresponsive Neely. And the video of Mr. Penny being questioned by detectives at the police precinct on the day of the incident.

After Judge Wiley told the jury how to access the videos on a computer that would be provided for them in the deliberation room, defense attorney Thomas Kenniff raised the issue that a protester had called out “homophobic slurs” at his client, as Mr. Penny and the defense attorneys were exiting the car and entering the courthouse in the morning.

“Upon entering the building today,” Mr. Kenniff told the judge, “we have had other issues with this individual… and other individuals, who blocked the defense entrance into the courthouse. This individual (today) was repeatedly berating Mr. Penny with violent homophobic slurs… It’s offensive and disturbing.”
