Defense lawyers for Marine veteran Daniel Penny, on trial over the death of homeless black man Jordan Neely, pushed for a mistrial on Thursday, citing testimony from a witness they deemed biased and accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s office of promoting an anti-white narrative. They protested the characterization of Penny as a “White vigilante” and opposed witness Johnny Grima’s courtroom statement labeling Penny a “murderer” and “abuser,” despite neither murder nor domestic abuse being among the charges.

I have and it was a volatile situation, hell the responding officers after Penny let go said Neely still had a pulse, and his cause of death was overdose until the video went viral. Police Bodycam Video I have watched many of the videos. Have you seen all witnesses testimonies that Neely’s behavior was so threatening that one even called it satanic?

Oh yeah, the George Floyd approach: claim it's an overdose until a viral video shows the a man was murdered by having his airway cut off for multiple straight minutes.

That said, I can find zero evidence for this claim that it was ruled an overdose until the video went viral; got any proof, or are you just making shit up?

But have you seen the other videos and testimony at his trial? You seem to want a certain narrative here.

Where's the "overdose"? It sounds to me like you're making shit up to justify a man being murdered. And you can clearly see his body go limp in the video.

Edit: oh wait, you're a Project 2025 denialist. So I'm just speaking to someone deeply intellectually dishonest and not worth a second of my time. Glad I figured that out early on.

Since you asked, here are some sources:

Both sides said they will discuss the medical examiner’s toxicology report, which found that synthetic cannabinoids were in Neely’s body when he died, according to court documents.

"He just held him, he didn't choke him," Gittings said of Penny.

Same Witness Gittings thanked Penny on Police Bodycam

Witness Rosario literally shaking on camera from fear and describing almost fainting at Neely's behavior

Witnees Schrunk also thankful because "she thought she was gonna die" and thought Neely was acting satanic.

One the first 911 calls

So you've motte-and-baileyed your way from "he was declared to have overdosed before the video went viral" to "synthetic cannibinoids were present in his system but the medical examiner never indicated anything about an OD".

Again, completely intellectually dishonest and not worth my time. Have a good one I guess. You're fucking gross for trying to justify this – let alone intentionally lying about it to do so.
