[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Defense fund nearing 400K - yay!  This prosecution is ridiculous/pure political theater and will go nowhere.  But in the meantime, the poor kid will go through hell.  Glad he at least will not have to pay for his defense.[/quote]

Jury will convict when they are shown photos of Neely dead on the subway floor in pool of his own vomited blood, piss, and feces. Prosecution will tell jury that these results are disproportionate use of force relative to Neely’s lunatic ranting, lack of weapon, and lack of physical assault. Prosecution will play video of the crowd pleading with Neely to let go, thereby eliminating his excuse that he didn’t realize Neely was dying.

Penny is f#cked, but his lawyers will get rich. Yay?[/quote]

No they won’t. Penny's life will change and it is sad he has to go through this, but no one that listens to the firsthand accounts of people being terrorized by Neely on the train will vote to convict Penny. [/quote]

+1. I live in NYC, am a (non-white, since that apparently matters) lawyer, and have been terrorized by mentally ill people on the subway more times than I can count. I can tell you on the publicly available facts there is no way I would vote to convict here, and I hope Penny is acquitted. I really don’t think that a jury comprised of NYC residents would convict. Everyone here deals with this.[/quote]
