Danial Penny is charged with the death of a subway man. Penny and two others held the man down on the floor while Penny put him in a chock hold and the man died. As this case unfolds it becomes curiouser and curiouser. First off the other two men are not being charged even though they helped. Second the NY Times did some deep research on Penny and nothing was published about him. That probably means they didn't find anything of interest in his back ground. No previous run ins with the law and no problems with his military service. There were several bystanders who called the police but they have not been identified. Unlike the many other Black men who were murdered that day this case gets national attention because Penny was White. This is not the beginning of this story but rather the end. The beginning was when the DA decided to allow this man to roam the streets. Next came the no cash bail. Neely had been previously arrested 44 times for multiple assaults, attempted child abduction, drugs, and indecent exposure. Officials say he had at least 43 cases of an "aided case," where mental healthcare workers took him in for treatment. The day before his death he was under investigation for pushing someone on the tracks. There was currently an arrest warrant for Neely in the violent attack on an older woman.
