Daniel Penny
Daniel Penny is a former Marine who gained media attention in 2023 for placing Jordan Neely in a headlock during a violent outburst on a New York subway, resulting in Neely's death. Penny argued self-defense in court, and jurors ultimately found him not guilty of criminally negligent homicide. His case drew parallels to that of Bernhard Goetz and sparked discussions regarding self-defense laws and the responsibilities of bystanders in potentially dangerous situations.
