The father of the victim in the fatal New York City subway chokehold case has sued defendant Daniel Penny as a Manhattan jury continues deliberating.
State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, speaks at a press conference in reaction to a property tax reform proposal by Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen. The trio laid out their proposal earlier in the day. Jan. 31, 2019.
Zachary is seeking a judgment awarding damages “in a sum which exceeds the jurisdictional limits of all lower Courts which would otherwise have jurisdiction,” according to the lawsuit.“The timing is unfortunate as Danny is awaiting a verdict from the jury where the potential consequences are far greater than any civil suit could threaten,” he said in a statement Thursday, adding that Penny had not yet been served the complaint.
On Wednesday, jurors asked to review the police and bystander video, including the responding officers’ body camera videos and police video of Penny’s subsequent station house interview with detectives. Penny and some passengers recalled Neely had ranted about being willing to die, willing to go jail — even willing to kill.
