A Penny Saved (sort of)
Timothy Birdnow
The prosecution (that means Alvin Bragg) is dropping the manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny for his "choke hold" accidental killing of a crazed threatening man on the subway in New York City.
The manslaughter charge was the big one.
The jury was deadlocked and unable to reach a verdict so the prosecution has dropped the charge hoping to get some charge to stick rather than just a mistrial via hung jury.
Penny is still facing negligent homicide charges since the judge, who was reluctant to allow the charges to be dropped, caved in and agreed to allow the lesser charge to proceed.
The decedent - Jordan Neely - was a black man who was threatening other passengers on the train when Penny, a former military man, intervened.

If Neely were white and Penny were black, you could search the Internet till you were blue in the face and never find even one reference to this. Well, maybe just one.
