Kenniff vehemently denied the claim, stating that it was absurd to suggest that Penny intended to take anyone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<h3>Reasonable Steps Taken to Subdue Threatening Environment<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis was a situation where my client, who is just an everyday New Yorker, was put in a situation that none of us would want to be in and took reasonable steps to try to subdue someone who had introduced a frightening, threatening environment into that subway train,\u201d Kenniff said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Kenniff, Penny was simply trying to protect himself and others on the train from a threatening situation. Witnesses who will testify in the grand jury proceeding will attest to the frightening and terrifying situation that occurred on the train.<\/p>\n<h3>No Political Motivations<\/h3>\n<p>Despite attempts to politicize the case, Kenniff emphasized that there is nothing political about it. This is simply a case of an everyday young man who was confronted with a difficult and frightening situation and took appropriate steps to try to restrain someone who was a threat.<\/p>\n<h3>Fair Trial Expected<\/h3>\n<p>While some have expressed concerns about whether Penny can receive a fair trial in New York, Kenniff has no doubts. He has been trying cases in New York City for 20 years and believes that Manhattan jurors will be able to relate to the situation that confronted Penny and the other passengers on the train.<\/p>\n<p>As the trial progresses, Kenniff will continue to represent Penny and fight for justice.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Thomas Kenniff, an attorney for Daniel Penny, says it&#8217;s obviously absurd to claim his client wanted to kill anyone. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/u0dLk7y5BG\">pic.twitter.com\/u0dLk7y5BG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jasonrantz\/status\/1660766826626969604?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attorney Thomas Kenniff defended his client Daniel Penny against claims made by Jordan Neely&#8217;s family attorney that Penny believed he had the right to take a life.
