The former infantry squad leader will appear before Judge Maxwell Wiley
Daniel Penny, the former Marine indicted for killing homeless man Jordan Neely during a subway confrontation last month, will be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on June 28, the borough district attorney’s office said Thursday.
“We’re confident that when a trial jury is tasked with weighing the evidence, they will find Daniel Penny’s actions on that train were fully justified,” Steven Raiser, of the law firm Raiser & Kenniff, said in a statement. Eyewitnesses have said Neely – who had scores of run-ins with New York’s Finest – was threatening other subway riders and throwing trash around during a May 1 outburst.“If [Neely] had carried out his threats, he would have killed somebody,” Penny said.
Neely’s family has blamed authorities for letting him slip through the cracks of New York’s floundering mental health system. And they’ve called on Penny to face murder charges.
