Her testimony might give Marine Daniel Penny the defense he needs during his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyc-subway-incident-witness-comes-forth-gives-hero-marine-the-defense-he-needs\/\" title=\"Witness to NYC Subway Incident Supports Marine's Heroic Actions.\">upcoming manslaughter trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Penny put Jordan Neely in a chokehold on May 1 after Neely made threats against passengers and spoke as if he was prepared to hurt anyone who came near him. Neely died as a result of the hold, and within a week, Penny was charged by left-wing activist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The young man faces up to 15 years in prison if he\u2019s found guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, donations are pouring in to help Penny with his defense. It also appears as though he might have a witness whose testimony could help convince jurors he acted only to protect life and not to take it.<\/p>\n<p>The woman, described as in her sixties and \u201cof color,\u201d spoke to Fox News on Thursday about what she saw on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/at-least-50-killed-in-taiwans-deadliest-rail-disaster-train-carrying-nearly-500-people-crashes-and-derails\/\" title=\"At Least 50 Killed In Taiwan\u2019s \u2018Deadliest Rail Disaster,\u2019 Train Carrying Nearly 500 People Crashes And Derails\">train car<\/a> and also what she thinks of Penny. \u201cHe\u2019s a hero,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was self-defense, and I believe in my heart that he saved a lot of people that day that could have gotten hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman said she and others were minding their own business when Neely began to make erratic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jen-psaki-threat-from-isis-k-is-quite-real\/\" title=\"Jen Psaki: Threat from ISIS-K is quite real\">escalating threats<\/a> of violence. \u201cI\u2019m sitting on a train reading my book, and, all of a sudden, I hear someone spewing this rhetoric. He said, \u2018I don\u2019t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I\u2019ll go to jail, I\u2019ll take a bullet,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cI\u2019m looking at where we are in the tube, in the sardine can, and I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, we\u2019re in between stations. There\u2019s nowhere we can go. The people on that train, we were scared. We were scared for our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman said Penny only intervened \u2014 with the help of two other men \u2014 after Neely used the words \u201cbullet\u201d and \u201ckill.\u201d \u201cWhy in the world would you take a bullet? Why? You don\u2019t take a bullet because you\u2019ve snatched something from somebody\u2019s hand. You take a bullet for violence,\u201d she told Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>As for her impression of Penny, the woman categorized him as a good person who took actions he obviously would have rather avoided. \u201cMr. Penny cared for people. That\u2019s what he did. That is his crime,\u201d she said. \u201cNobody wants to kill anybody. Mr. Penny didn\u2019t want to kill that man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She concluded, \u201cYou should have seen the way Mr. Penny looked. He was distraught. He was very, very, very visibly distressed. And he didn\u2019t go. He didn\u2019t run. He stayed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman might or might not be the same person who told The New York Post last week she was there when Neely died and that she had been praying for Penny.<\/p>\n<p>Penny was honorably discharged from the military after decorated service while Neely was arrested more than 40 times in recent years for crimes ranging from the attempted kidnapping of a small girl to punching elderly people. By all accounts, the man was a public menace who would be alive today if the prosecutors who want Penny in jail had put Neely there instead.<\/p>\n<p>A jury will decide whether Penny should serve time in prison for his actions. But with testimony like that offered to Fox News on Thursday, Bragg\u2019s crusade to put the Marine behind bars feels as if it might have just gotten more difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A witness has emerged claiming to have seen the deadly confrontation between a Marine veteran and an aggressive criminal on a New York City subway.
