A grand jury has voted to indict a 24-year-old former US Marine over the death
of a 30-year-old homeless New Yorker who he placed in a fatal chokehold on a
Manhattan subway train last month.

Daniel Penny initially faced a charge of second-degree manslaughter when he was
arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on 12 May. He did not enter a plea and has
remained out of custody on a $100,000 bond.



On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted Mr Penny on a second-degree manslaughter
charge and criminally negligent homicide charge. The indictment is expected to
be unsealed at a later court date.

Following the news, a legal fund set up to support the 24-year-old soared past
$2.8m as conservatives continue to hail Mr Penny as a hero. Meanwhile, Neely’s
family welcomed the indictment and thanked AOC and “every peaceful protester and
all who still believe wrong actions should have consequences”.

Mr Penny has defended his actions in interviews with Fox News and The New York
Post.

FUNDRAISER FOR DANIEL PENNY TOPS $2.8M

An online fundraising campaign for Mr Penny’s legal defence was launched on the
Christian crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo, a website created in response to
GoFundMe removing far-right campaigns that violated its terms of service.

The fundraiser reached more than $2m within days of its launch, including
roughly $600,000 on the day Mr Penny was charged alone.As of 14 June, following
news of a grand jury indictment, the fundraiser has reached more than $2.8m.

Several donors – including Kid Rock, far-right streamer Tim Pool, and Republican
presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy – have contributed huge sums to Mr
Penny’s fund, which is run by his attorneys. Mr Ramaswamy donated $10,000.

“Penny is the Subway Good Samaritan and we are lucky to have brave souls like
him who are willing to do the right thing,” said Mr Pool, who confirmed his
$20,000 donation on 15 May.

“Thank you for protecting the citizens that day,” wrote another donor who
contributed $10,000.

“Mr Penny is a hero. Alvin Bragg is a POS,” Kid Rock wrote in a message with his
$5,000 donation.

VOICES: PEOPLE ARE EMBRACING DANIEL PENNY. IT’S EERILY FAMILIAR

“Cue the newest hero on the MAGA celebrity circuit: Daniel Penny, the former
marine whose golden ticket to infamy was allegedly choking to death 30-year-old
Jordan Neely, a Black homeless man with mental health issues on a New York City
subway. Penny has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. He happens to be
white, and is using self-defense as the excuse for his actions.

“Sound familiar?”

Stephen Lyons writes for The Independent last month:

HOW LONG DOES DANIEL PENNY FACE IN PRISON?

Daniel Penny is facing up to 15 years in prison over the subway killing of
homeless Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely.

On Wednesday, a New York grand jury voted to indict the 24-year-old former US
Marine over the death of the 30-year-old who he placed in a fatal chokehold on a
Manhattan subway train last month.

The grand jury indictment formally charging Mr Penny with second-degree
manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide is expected to be unsealed at a
later court date.

If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in state prison on the manslaughter
charges. The criminally negligent homicide carries a maximum sentence of four
years.

HOW REPUBLICANS AND RIGHT-WING MEDIA TURNED JORDAN NEELY’S KILLER INTO A HERO

In his upside-down version of the parable, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
compared the man who fatally choked a homeless New Yorker to the “good
Samaritan,” the biblical figure who came to the aid of a man who was stripped,
beaten and left for dead on the side of the road.

According to witness accounts, Jordan Neely loudly complained of hunger and
thirst when he boarded a Manhattan F train on 1 May, said he did not care
whether he was jailed or killed, and threw his jacket to the ground before a man
identified as Daniel Penny grabbed him from behind and pinned him to the ground
in a chokehold for several minutes.

“We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny,” Mr DeSantis wrote on Twitter
after Mr Penny was formally charged with manslaughter on 12 May. “Take back the
streets for law abiding citizens,” he wrote.

Republican elected officials and right-leaning media outlets and personalities
have similarly described Mr Penny as a heroic figure, and lambasted the fact
that charges were brought against him at all, rejecting the idea that
prosecutors or law enforcement should even investigate.

The Independent’s Alex Woodward investigates:


HOW REPUBLICANS AND RIGHT-WING MEDIA TURNED JORDAN NEELY’S KILLER INTO A HERO

From the outset of the media spectacle surrounding the case, right-wing
lawmakers and commentators have sought to focus Jordan Neely’s death as a
failure of Democratic policy around crime while justifying the actions of the
man who fatally choked him, writes Alex Woodward
