It's embarrassing that people suggest Trump pardon Penny. Democracy was a mistake. It seems the average person has no knowledge of the American system of civil governance.
Penny is not the only one dealing with vengeful laws. We once had to defend ourselves from a determined thief and harasser who was caught, but released by police without charge because 'it would open you to legal retaliation'. He returned and caused more trouble.
Regardless of the outcome of the case, it's still presents a precedent of law abiding citizens being punished by the process for trying to uphold the law.
From CBS News: NEW YORK — The jury has been sworn in for the trial of Daniel Penny, who is charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely on the subway in 2023.
There are 12 jurors and four alternates. Attorneys describe the 12-person jury as made up of at least seven White people, one Hispanic, one Filipino, one Black person and one of Middle Eastern descent. We haven't gotten details on the final juror seated.
