Daniel Penny trial day three: Fiery testimony and protests
SHARE

Daniel Penny’s manslaughter trial took a dramatic turn on Thursday as a supporter of Jordan Neely, the man who died after Penny restrained him in a chokehold on an F train, caused a scene in the hallway outside the courtroom. The supporter began speaking loudly in the gallery, prompting a court officer to intervene and direct him to save his conversation for the hallway. However, the supporter escalated the situation by shouting expletives at the officer, refusing to comply with his instructions.

In a defiant display, the supporter continued to rant and scream at the court officer in the Manhattan Supreme Court hallways, creating a chaotic scene that drew the attention of onlookers. The verbal altercation persisted for a few minutes before the supporter finally left the area. This disruptive behavior was just one instance of the tumultuous events that unfolded on the third day of the manslaughter trial.

Earlier in the day, a woman in the gallery broke down sobbing during witness testimony and had to be escorted out, causing a disturbance that could be heard from the courtroom. Another individual audibly cried when a photo of Neely was shown to the jurors, prompting Judge Maxwell Wiley to remind the audience to refrain from visibly or audibly reacting during the trial.

The trial has been marred by disruptive behavior and emotional outbursts, reflecting the intense emotions surrounding the case. From the supporters of Neely to the prosecution’s tactics, the courtroom proceedings have been characterized by activism and chaos rather than a pursuit of justice. The decision to charge Penny just eleven days after the incident, following pressure from politicians and advocates, has raised questions about the fairness of the trial.

The prosecution’s witness, Johnny Grima, a former homeless man and activist, testified about the events leading up to Neely’s death. Grima described encountering Penny on the F train and attempting to intervene in the situation, but his testimony was marked by bias and animosity towards Penny. Despite attempts by defense attorney Thomas Kenniff to highlight inconsistencies in Grima’s testimony, the witness remained combative and hostile towards Penny.

After a tumultuous few days in court, Kenniff requested a mistrial, citing the inability of his client to receive a fair trial in the current climate. The events of the trial have underscored the challenges of achieving justice in a highly charged case marked by activism and emotion. As the trial continues, the outcome remains uncertain amidst the chaos and controversy surrounding the proceedings.
