December 06, 2024 MANHATTAN, New York – Daniel Penny arrives at court Friday morning with Hawk Newsome of Greater BLM NY using a megaphone while protesting just across the street.
Penny’s trial jurors showed indications of a possible ‘hung jury’ as they were unable to reach a decision on the first charge of second-degree manslaughter for the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City Subway train.
With deliberations currently stalled, the judge deciding the next steps in the case has issued an Allen Charge urging the hung jury to agree on a verdict as Penny’s legal team attempts to move for a mistrial.
We will update as deliberations continue.
