Neely, who was previously charged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/jordan-neely-history-attacks-subway-riders-nyc-chokehold-death\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multiple times<\/a> with assaulting subway riders, eventually found himself face-to-face with Penny who pulled Neely into a headlock.

The police arrived at a subsequent subway station, but Neely, who was reportedly homeless and had&nbsp;an extensive rap sheet, stopped breathing. He died.<\/p>\n<p>Police body camera footage shows witnesses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hloyv3g_1wQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explaining<\/a> to authorities what happened and they never indicate Penny was out of line or excessive in his use of force. <strong>In fact, they claimed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O5MbDR2pW5U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">opposite<\/a>. <\/strong>Penny would tell police in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aARU9vIcQ48\">interview<\/a> thereafter that he doesn&rsquo;t consider himself &ldquo;confrontational&rdquo; and his intent wasn&rsquo;t to harm anyone, but that he was only en route to the gym &mdash; where he would presumably work on what I assume is a very fine physique.<\/p>\n<p>In a sane world, we would show immense gratitude to Penny and the other passengers who helped subdue Neely. There would be morning network TV segments heralding their quick action in a moment of certain danger.

Thank God for Daniel &ldquo;So Hot&rdquo; Penny&rsquo;s freedom but this isn&rsquo;t justice. For more than a year, tax-payer dollars were devoted to putting that innocent man in prison. He can never get that time back. He will never forget the distress, the trauma, the panic. This was a tragedy and an epic miscarriage of justice. It&rsquo;s irreparable.<\/p>\n<p>New York owes Penny big time. A lawyer needs to sue the city on his behalf pro bono. And if there is justice left in America, the incoming Trump Administration will immediately investigate and ideally bring charges against the prosecutors who did this to the white knight Daniel
