Alvin Bragg's Office Wants to Control What Witnesses Say About Daniel Penny at Trial

Prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office are reportedly asking the judge overseeing Daniel Penny's trial to not let witnesses call the U.S. Marine Corps veteran a "good Samaritan" or a "hero" in court, as jury selection is underway.

According to The Gothamist's reporting on an email exchange between prosecutors and Penny's defense attorneys, Assistant DA Dafna Yoran raised alarm over how witnesses could characterize the defendant after watching an interview Penny's counsel conducted on FOX 5 New York highlighting their client's heroic actions on the subway.

“Danny doesn't have to be a hero," Penny's lawyer, Thomas Kenniff, told the local outlet during a sitdown TV interview last week. "But he's someone who did the right thing. He's someone who stood up for his fellow man, for his fellow New Yorkers. He was put in a difficult situation: either cower and do nothing — when Jordan Neely is descending on a mother and her child in a baby stroller, which is part of the factual narrative of this case — or stand up and try to protect."

 
Oh how WICKED they are!

He IS a hero, He IS a good Samaritan. He is a Marine to the core! Sworn to serve and protect his country. That doesn't stop when he became a civilian.

That is the only reason he stood up and took action.

To SAVE A BABY AND HER MOTHER!!!
 
Disgusting but they are allowing him to be called “The White Guy”. That fits the false narrative they are trying push this as being a racially motivated crime. When it is clearly self defense and defense of others.

I would have done the same thing as Penny. Some whack job losing it on the train, screaming he’s going to kill somebody and basically losing it. There is women and children who are clearly in danger.

I’m trained to protect myself and others. Anyone with that training facing the same scenario would probably act to protect themselves and others.

It’s not something one wants to do. It’s something you do when needed. I’m sure Penny never thought, today I’m gonna ride the train and choke someone.
 
Once upon a time, every able-bodied person (and maybe some not-so-able-bodied) on that train would have dog-piled the bad guy, and maybe "a wee bit more."
Now, it's up to the one, who happened to be there, to take action by himself, and put himself in harm's way.
And then, instead of a nice civic honor and public thanks and accolades for doing the right thing, he gets prosecuted :furious: :mad: :apost: :ban:

Surely good is being called evil, and evil is being called good 😭


I fear there may be a flea shortage soon :eek:
May the fleas of 10,000 camels infest the DA, Ass't DA, etc. armpits :tap:


:pray: :pray: :amen: :amen: :thankyou: :thankyou:

I'm old and feeble, but couldn't live with myself if I remained passive in situations where others are being threatened like that.

My wife got angry at me when I came to a lady's aid who was being threatened by a man while she was trying to pump gas. I was a much younger fella at the time.

My response to my wife was, "In situations like that, I have no choice".

I could handle being incarcerated by this evil world, but I couldn't handle doing nothing.

Me, too.

Then husband got upset at me a couple of times for the same thing. I suspect part of it was male ego, though.


I suspect every 🐑🐕‍🦺 on the planet, as well.
