Daniel Penny Trial: Judge Allows Prosecution to Change Charge, Dershowitz Says It’s Due to Racism
New York: Daniel Penny, a white Marine veteran, held Jordan Neeley, a black homeless man with psychiatric and drug problems and a criminal record that included assaulting a woman at a subway station, in a chokehold after Neely threatened other passengers. Neely died shortly after Penny released him. Penny was charged with manslaughter; Judge Maxwell Wiley went along with a bizarre proposal from Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran to avoid a mistrial by allowing her to drop a manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny to try and secure a conviction on a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Penny’s lawyer had opposed the prosecution motion, saying ‘This has never been done before. It would encourage prosecutors to over-charge in the grand jury, with the option of withdrawing if hung, under coercion.’
Numerous websites pointed out that the prosecutor of this case, Dafna Yoran, is a far-left activist. Dershowitz said that this case involves racism by the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is up for re-election and will lose his position if there is no conviction.
