just the brutality of jordan nealy's murder?ity manages? and treats its homeless population? >> i think it could if we had a different mayor. i have been concerned about the comments the mayor has made. but we have to have a leader who can do multiple things at once, we have been ignoring people's anger and fear. and we can't do that because it has to go somewhere. i acknowledge you are afraid and why you are angry. but let's not point it at the wrong people. here is how we can address those concerns in a real way. and people want to get lekked, all they want to do is pump up that fear and anger. and people are dying. in the case of jordan nealy, he was failed from beginning to end. there were so many things many of us have been talking about. how we can address the homeless situation and the mental health situation. if we put the money and structures in. we didn't do that and we are not doing it now. when you say daniel penny did what the city should have, that is repugnant. we have to find a way to unpack that. >> i think the

those people were the ones who had the chance to save jordan nealy when it mattered.idn't. his father was not there before. there was a possible payday. so i don't want to hear about how this has anything to do with race, because daniel penny stepped up to save people and he even tried to save jordan nealy. that's what makes this even worse. he tried to put him in the posture so he could recover from that. that's not usually a fatal move. i've. i've done some grappling and stuff. you get choked out. it's a blood choke. you wake up after. it's not the way you kill somebody. and he didn't mean to do that. and if he had been found guilty, it would have been terrible for new york. so i'm hoping that people can look at this and say it was a tragedy, but let's put it behind us. don't let the race hustlers come in. don't let the leftists try and tear us apart over this terrible thing, because the system that failed was not on that subway that day. it was way before. >> that one of the one of the things that i thought was promising or felt good was that the race baiting did s

they also say that daniel penny did not exert enough force or pressure to to actually cause jordan nealy'sple of different causation arguments at play. >> let's talk about the jury because this is a jury of local people who very likely ride the train. right? it is the most democratizing element of the city is that everybody rides the train so in 2023, crime on the train was high profile. although exceedingly rare. how much in these closing arguments that start tomorrow, do you expect that these attorneys will play into that setting? the scene of potential danger on the train? and what neely was attempting to prevent? >> yeah it is going to be a huge part of the defense narrative. and i'm a new yorker myself. so many new yorkers, everybody takes the subway and many of those individuals on the jury had said in voir dire that they take the subway regularly and have even had negative experiences in doing so. that being said, that focus for the defense is going to be that daniel penny's actions were justified because there was an imminent threat to himself, but also to others. but prosecutors a

marine on trial for the death of jordan nealy.ew york city subway car. after jurors were unable to agree on the charges of manslaughter in the second degree, the judge said the jury could proceed to considering a lesser count of criminally negligent homicide. here are my thoughts on the topic. i did the eulogy at the funeral of jordan and i supported his family this morning at our weekly saturday rally. his uncle christopher was there with family members of other victims. the mother of eric gardner. this is a case not nearly on the train, but the criminal conduct of this man that led to his death by putting him in a choke hold. if there is no accountability, are we now seeing that it is legal to citizens to take matters in their hone hand even if it leads to death? that is a danger to everyone. and i think that at the concentration on jordan nealy saying he misbehaved on the subway does not answer the question on whether daniel penny becomes the one that legalizes us having civilians. that does it for me. i'll see you back here to

this marine veteran daniel penny has been found not guilty of negligent homicide in the death of jordan nealy. daniel penny found not guilty. and black lives matter is not happy. got them and got america. plus santa. >> has jesse watters been naughty or nice this year? >> i think he's been very naughty. >> oh. >> trump back on the world stage. and it's like he never left 47. flew over to france this weekend for the reopening of notre dame. and he said the cathedral looked better than it did 900 years ago. but while he had his eyes on the architecture, the world had its eyes on him. even doctor jill couldn't look away. the two had a little side chat. trump told the post it was very nice. she couldn't have been nicer. and then he used the photo to promote his new cologne, a fragrance your enemies can't resist. i know what johnnie wants for christmas and long lines stretching through the pews to shake 40 seven's hand outside the french presidential palace, macron was manhandled by a trump handshake. trump told the post, quote, it's just a firm shake. he understands that. just a firm shake. franc

witnesses say back in 2023, penny held jordan nealy in a choke hold for several minutes after nealy had made threats and started throwing things at penny. he was pronounced dead at the scene. well, president elect donald trump is back in the u.s. after meeting with a number of world leaders in france. he's already spelling out his plans for the country when he takes office in six weeks. as nikole killion reports, those plans include mass deportations, which could sweep up immigrants who are in this country legally with their families >>>>president elect donald trump says border security will be top on his list. following through on a campaign pledge. >>>>is it realistic to deport everyone who have no choice? first of all, they're costing us a fortune. but we're starting with the criminals, and we got to >>>>do it. in his first post-election interview on nbc's meet the press, trump said his mass deportation proposal could include families with mixed citizenship. >>>>the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them >>>>all back. but he's open

and they ask you, would a reasonable average person have perceived the risk to jordan nealy? well, there seems to be disagreement if they need clarification on the reasonable person. i'm hopeful there. but when you look at this, the reasonable person, there were many reasonable people on that subway train. the bystanders who thanked him, the bystanders who helped him hold down jordan nealy, the woman of color who said this. they're trying to make this about race. will a woman of color. that's how she self describes, said he is a hero. it was self-defense. he is only guilty of trying to help people. those are the reasonable people on the subway. this is a travesty. it's great news. the first charge is gone, but not a victory. a travesty. a good samaritan being made into a bad actor. a hero into a villain. welcome to manhattan. the only other jurisdictions that could do this were dc and la. so good job, alvin bragg, do you agree with kaylee as a michigan graduate, the characterization of michigan being less than an ivy league? >> i'm not going to accept that. >> oh, it's a swin

why all of a sudden with a dead person, jordan nealy is now not the victim, daniel penny who had no accountabilitythe victim. and we see this often, too often, who you decide to celebrate and why, we should be honest about it. jd vance is not being honest about what he is celebrating. i do not know daniel penny but i do know he decided to go to the bar, have a drink right after. now he is deciding to go to a football game and be a part of this celebration. and that now is a choice he is making. which is different than what he was explaining before. >> it is a very important point. whereas you might have decided to act in this moment out of impulse, you are now making a choice to be celebrated and propped up if you will as a hero in this moment. i don't think many people have discussed. because new york city is such a progressive city in terms of the political ideology, people don't necessarily take seriously the class lines that exist within the city that may have contributed to how people process as far as the jury, this ultimate case. can you just speak to how that dichotomy between new york as

and i think that at the concentration on jordan nealy saying he misbehaved on the subway does not answer the question on whether daniel penny becomes the one that legalizes us having civilians. that does it for me. i'll see you back here tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. eastern for another live hour of politics nation. the saturday show with jonathan capehart starts right now. capehart starts right now. >>> >>> presidential picks and pardons as president-elect donald trump and battles-- other cabin choices will seek revenge on his political opponents. i will ask james clyburn why president biden should preemptively protect trump's critics with blank and pardons even though they have committed no crimes. >>> two presidents, one global stage. after president biden's trip to africa donald trump takes the spotlight at the reopening of notre dame in paris and meets with french and ukrainian leaders. what happened to having one president at a time? >>> man hunt. a live report on the clues in the search for the good man who killed the ceo of united healthcare. why the search is now expanding beyond new yo

this never was a second degree manslaughter says, that requires penny to intend to harm jordan nealy,es proof that you know, penny knew and had reasonable to know that he was going to die because of the chokehold and still did it. there are no facts to support that. so these prosecutors overcharged knowing they'd never a get a conviction on second degree manslaughter and got what they wanted and then the judge to say, okay, we can't agree on that let's go to th which is easier tt does, it induces juror their ar deliberating three or four days, okay, let's just get him on the lesser charge. it's patently unfair and a miscarriage of justice. molly: yeah, we also have the statement from the attorney for daniel penny who says they're being deliberate and since set a note regarding a reasonable person's standard. justification for the charge, if the jury found the government failed to disprove justification, the charges including the top count, will be dismissed. your thoughts on that argument and also your predictions come monday. >> that's exactly what i said on laura ingraham's show, i

marine veteran daniel penny has been found not guilty of negligent homicide in the death of jordan nealyar. nealy, a 30 year old performer suffering from mental illness, boarded a subway and allegedly started threatening other riders. that's when penny put him in a choke hold for six minutes. eventually resulting in neely's death. >> jordan came on that subway car. the first thing he asked for was food, and he was killed. and the person who killed him was not held responsible. >> penny claimed he was defending himself and others pointing out other riders also thought nealy was a threat and helped hold him down. but prosecutors said his actions were criminal and eventually charged him with several crimes, including manslaughter. that charge was dismissed as the jury deliberated because they were deadlocked on that count. penny's supporters claim there just wasn't enough evidence to support the indictment. the not guilty verdict puts an end to the case, but not the divisive overtones that came with it. and outside the courthouse, nealy supporters claim the acquittal was rooted in racism. >

they have said that daniel penny disregarded jordan nealy's life and acted recklessly by ignoring the risk of placing him in that six minute choke hold and their star witness was the city's medical examiner, who found that jordan neeley had died from compression to the neck. the defense tried to counter that testimony by bringing in their own medical expert, who said that jordan neeley died from a complication of different factors. the fact that he was high on k2, that he suffered from psychotic schizophrenia and the excitement of the struggle between jordan neeley and daniel penny. now, this is a case that has really focused on the city's crisis with people who are experiencing mental health issues as well as public safety. on the subways. there were several witnesses who talked about feeling scared when they saw jordan neeley and relieved that penny had stepped in. this will all be determined by the

death of jordan nealy. now, this comes after the manslaughter charge was dismissed by the judge on friday after the jury failed. they were deadlocked. they failed to come to a unanimous decision. now, the fact that this case was ever brought forward is a complete travesty of justice. this is someone. this is someone you know. how is this person supposed to react when you have a crazed homeless person with a history a mile long in terms of dealing with cops and authorities in a subway car yelling that he's going to kill himself and everybody else in that subway car. well, that would be a clear and present danger, not only to himself, but everyone in the subway and everybody around him. daniel penny, he stepped in as a brave good samaritan to protect everyone else in that car as as one african-american woman testified to is, she said, thank you to mr. penny for what he did. the charges alone brought by the radical d.a. alvin bragg, represent the blatant weaponization and abuse of our system of justice. then,

grasso, and he says this entire case is really a failure, not only to daniel penny, but also to jordan nealy, who had a documented history of mental health struggles, a lengthy criminal record and was battling schizophrenia. when all of this unfolded on the subway last year. let's roll that sound. if we have it. >> if that case was dealt with properly to begin with, he would have been incarcerated, treat him but incarcerate him. he would be alive today, and mr. penny wouldn't be in this situation. so the criminal justice system has a lot to account for. and i think to some extent, mr. penny is being scapegoated. >> there was some objection from the defense on whether jurors should be allowed to deliberate on this lesser charge. defense attorney thomas kenneth, putting in the record that he feels it's coercive at this point, trying to preserve all of his rights on appeal. but again, the big takeaway from today, laura, is that daniel penny's fate, the marine veteran charged in this case, his future, hangs in limbo at this hour. back to you. >> all right, cb thank you very much. joining me now,

> that was the father of jordan neely reacting to the not guilty verdict for the man accused of killing his son. we just learned daniel penny was acquitted in the death of nealy on a new york subway. after the jury deliberated the charges for more than 20 hours, penny found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide after the judge already dismissed the higher manslaughter charge on friday after the jury deadlocked on that. with me to talk more about the case, cnn's gloria pazmino and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. so gloria, no one disputes that, that penny's actions were responsible for the death of neeley. right. so why did the jury acquit penny well, jake, the prosecution failed to prove to them that penny should have known that there was a risk when he put jordan neely in the chokehold that was the second charge that they had to deliberate on the criminally negligent homicide. >> they were hung on. the more serious charge, the manslaughter in the second degree. that charge was dismissed on friday, but it's clear that someone in that room thought that penny was guilty of at least that top charge, because the jury was hung on it twice now, we hav

after five days, jurors declared mr pennie not guilty in the death of 30 year old jordan nealy on a nework city train on the 1st of may 2023. according to witnesses, nealy's behaviour was erratic and insanely threatening when nealy allegedly shouted i'm going to kill you, pennie put him in a choke hold to restrain him in a choke hold to restrain him and protect passengers. the chokehold lasted for six minutes and resulted in nealy being rushed to hospital and then declared dead . and jay—z has declared dead. and jay—z has dismissed allegations that he raped a 13 year old girl alongside sean diddy combs in the year 2000 as a blackmail attempt . the lawsuit, filed in attempt. the lawsuit, filed in new york, claims the pair drugged and assaulted the accuser after the mtv video music awards, while a female celebrity watched . in celebrity watched. in a statement, jay—z called the allegations heinous and accused the claimant's lawyer of exploiting the case for financial gain. the accuser is seeking damages, while combs, who faces separate charges, remains in custody. jay—z said his only hear
