Daniel Penny was hailed as a hero on social media after a viral photo of him alongside Donald Trump and JD Vance at the Army-Navy game circulated Saturday.
Marine veteran Daniel Penny is celebrating his recent acquittal for manslaughter inside a historic college football game suite. Penny, who was recently found not guilty in the subway chokehold death of homeless man Jordan Neely, joined President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance in a suite at Northwest Stadium in Maryland for the 125th Army-Navy game Saturday. Trump's suite also hosted Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Witnesses testified Neely's threats scared them more than a typical subway outburst would, and they were thankful for Penny's intervention. Neely had a lengthy criminal record, an active arrest warrant, a history of psychosis and was high on K2, a synthetic form of marijuana that pathologists described as a stimulant. When jurors declared they had found Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide Dec. 9, his side of the courtroom in New York City erupted with cheers.
