Persecution of an American Hero Continues | Daniel Penny prosecutor dangles race card again

Article Title: Daniel Penny prosecutor dangles race card again

Article Excerpt: "...Penny was not told about Neely's death when he voluntarily agreed to speak with NYPD detectives. Yoran used similar language earlier in the trial during her opening statement, and her team also allowed witnesses to describe Penny as "the White man" and a "murderer," prompting Penny's defense lawyers to object and ask the court to declare a mistrial over the language. ..."The government wasn't there. The police weren't there. Danny was," Raiser told the jury. "And when he needed help no one was there. The government has the nerve to blame Danny because police weren't there? Blame Danny for holding on when police weren't there?" It took seven minutes for police to respond to the 911 call and 20 minutes before medics arrived, he said. Neely was "on a collision course with himself," and a "broken system" failed everyone involved, the lawyer said. ...Neely had a lengthy arrest record, a documented history of severe mental illness, a drug abuse problem and an active arrest warrant when he boarded the F train car on May 1, 2023, and started screaming death threats, trial testimony revealed over the past three weeks."
