Katie Way then walks Emma through the evolution and eventual decision in the acquittal of Daniel Penny over his killing of Jordan Neely on the NYC subway system, with the prosecution emphasizing the diagnosis of asphyxiation as the cause of death and Penny’s lack of remorse toward and consistent attacks against Neely during interviews, while the defense’s ultimately successful argument hinged on pinning his death on drug abuse and sickle cell disease – a tact often employed by cops, as seen with the murder of George Floyd – and spinning witness accounts and the coroner’s report as the result of “political pressure.” After expanding on the ultimate decision to acquit Penny, Way and Emma step back as they unpack the greater narrative built around this case, with many elites and people on the right coming to the defense of Penny with general anti-homeless and anti-immigrant fear-mongering, zeroing in particularly on Eric Adams’ and his Administration’s use of this story to bolster his police-driven plan to solve (jail) New York City’s unhoused problem (people), as they wrap up the interview with the growing frustration around safe-blue state Democratic Parties’ failure to provide progressive alternatives to conservative fear-mongering around crime and homelessness.
