During the prosecution’s opening statements on Friday, they asked why Penny, 26, did “not see Mr. Neely’s humanity.” Daniel Penny , who the ADA referred to as “the white man” walks into court with his defense attorney Thomas Kenniff.This started when 19-year-old Ivette Rosario, a bystander on the train that day, was called to the stand. Rosario, appearing visibly shy and nervous, captured a short, shaky video of Penny holding Neely in a chokehold on the uptown F train.
But she was not corrected by Assistant DA Jillian Shartrand, nor did the lawyer inform Rosario of the defendant’s name. Instead, Shartrand adopted it as her own, calling him “the white man.” In fact, when Penny’s defense attorney, Thomas Kenniff, got up to cross examine Rosario, his client’s name was the first order of business. He clarified that “the white man” was indeed his client and kindly agreed with Rosario that they’d refer to him as “Danny” and Neely as “Jordan.”So was the fear Rosario, a regular subway rider, felt on May 1 2023.
