[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so sad. Vigilante justice cannot be condoned.[/quote] That is not what happened here. Self-defense or defense of others is not vigilantism. It is defense.[/quote] +1 Penny didn't target Neely. He acted to protect himself and others on an enclosed subway car when a man with serious mental health deficits demanded money and threatened violence. And I believe the killing was an accident -- I don't think Penny wanted to kill someone that day. He wanted to incapacitate someone who posed a threat, and I think in doing so accidentally killed him. He never should have been charged with the higher charge to begin with, and the situation does not really meet the requirements for manslaughter either. [/quote] Holding a choke for a minute after someone is unconscious is an accident? Most people would probably say that it's reckless, and that's all they need for a conviction on the manslaughter charge.[/quote]
