While the current election is justifiably dominating the news, Daniel Penny’s trial for allegedly killing Jordan Neely on a New York City subway has begun, and a new revelation has turned the prosecution on its head.
As RedState reported, Penny initially subdued Neely after the latter began to act erratically, including lunging at and threatening women and children on the train. Neely would go on to perish and Penny was arrested and charged with manslaughter by infamous Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
At the time, the facts of the case were already called into question after a video taken on the scene showed Neely still breathing for a significant period after the altercation. Further, Penny put Neely in the “recovery position,” suggesting he had no intent to cause permanent harm. At the time, I asked whether Neely was still breathing when first responders arrived.
Secondly, you can see Neely’s chest still moving (and his leg even appearing to move) in the video at multiple points, which again suggests that Penny let him go with the expectation that he was subdued, not mortally wounded. Was Neely still breathing when the paramedics got there?
That question has now been answered thanks to newly released bodycam footage. Not only was Neely breathing when the police arrived, but they refused to give him mouth-to-mouth, instead sticking him with Narcan assuming a drug overdose was involved.
Two police officers confirmed that Neely still had a pulse when they arrived.
‘I got a pulse,’ one said. A second police officer confirmed that he too felt a pulse.
Neely was unconscious, lying on the subway car floor.
When asked how Neely ended up there, Penny replied: ‘I put him out.’
Despite initially detecting a pulse, they issued Narcan – the drug used to reverse opioid overdoses – to Neely – and started CPR at 2.38pm. […]

“but they refused to give him mouth-to-mouth,”
IDIOTIC, simpleton phrase: giving someone with possible FENTANYL traces inmouth, mouth—to–mouth is committing SUICIDE —- observed someone almost once die from doing thst!!!
Oblivious halfwits who write this crapola!!!!
The same death that George Floyd experienced…. How wonderful there are libtard DA”S who will always bring charges against decent people.
I am amazed at how easily today liberals can be brainwashed into believeing the constant crap these Deocrat prosecutors and politicans scoop up and throw at them.
That he is being prosecuted at all is itself a tragedy, but the heart, unless it is itself the cause of death, continues to beat for several minutes after clinical death. But – if the “pulse” argument gets him off, so be it. He shouldn’t be there to begin with.
