 * FALLOUT OF PENNY’S INDICTMENT: LETTERS TO THE EDITOR — JUNE 19, 2023

A straphanger who witnessed the fatal subway confrontation between Daniel Penny
and Jordan Neely earlier this month called Penny a “hero” for restraining the
homeless man before his death.

The 66-year-old woman, who asked not to be identified, also said she’d testify
on behalf of Penny, 24, who was charged last week with second-degree
manslaughter over the deadly encounter.

The witness told The Post that Neely, 30, went on an explosive tirade just
before his caught-on-camera death, telling people he was willing to “kill a
motherf—er” and “[take] a bullet” and go to jail.

Neely’s erratic behavior put commuters on the F train subway car on edge as they
hurtled between stations in Manhattan, the witness said.

“The rhetoric from Mr. Neely was very frightening, it was very harsh,” the
witness told The Post.

“People that travel the subway see and hear everything — this was different. And
frightening.

“People were gravitating towards the exit doors, and we couldn’t get out because
we were still between stations,” she continued.

“People exited quickly [when we pulled in], and people were trying to call 911
when they were in the train … I sensed danger.”

A witness told The Post that she considers Daniel Penny “a hero.” REUTERS

She said Penny asked her if she would testify about what she saw.

“If necessary [I’ll testify],” the witness said.

“I think Mr. Penny deserves a chance … Mr. Neely, he gave people cause to feel
that their life was being threatened. He didn’t care. He said he didn’t care. I
consider [Daniel Penny] to be a hero.”

“Anything that can help Mr. Penny, but also help the homeless or mentally ill
individual out on the streets that could find themselves in the same situation —
the answer is concern for all citizens of all colors,” the witness added.

Neely, a homeless man with a lengthy history of mental illness, died after the
May 1 confrontation with Penny, a Queens man who once led infantry squads in the
Marines.

The witness also said Jordan Neely was threatening other subway riders the day
of his death, and made riders fear for their lives. AP

Penny seized Neely around the neck following the former street performer’s angry
outburst, which also featured him throwing trash at other riders, witnesses
said.

The city medical examiner has ruled Neely’s death a homicide, noting he died due
to “compression of neck (chokehold).”

Neely’s family has said Penny should be charged with murder.

Penny’s defense team claims he wasn’t trying to kill Neely — he was merely
trying to protect himself and others from a threatening homeless man who had
scores of prior arrests.

Now that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has leveled charges at Penny,
the DA has six months to secure a grand jury indictment, Penny’s attorney said.

Penny, a former Marine, has been charged with manslaughter for killing Neely.

Penny remains free on $100,000 bail.

Investigators also believe they’ve tracked down one of two men seen on the
recording helping Penny restrain Neely, police sources said.

But it’s not clear whom authorities believe they’ve found, or if they intend to
charge either man.

The witness, who described herself as a woman of color, added that she believes
Bragg only charged Penny because of the public outcry.

“I think [Bragg’s decision to charge Penny] was political,” she said.

What do you think? Post a comment.

“The politicians who posted their opinions seem to be trying to create a
narrative and make it about race — and it’s not about race … they responded
based on feelings, not facts.”

Penny is due back in court on July 17.
