The 1967 Film That Foretold Daniel Penny

Opinions of what constitutes justice for Daniel Penny run the gamut. Mr. Penny, a former Marine, is charged with second-degree manslaughter for putting Jordan Neely in a chokehold in a New York subway car on May 1. Lennon Edwards, an attorney for the Neely family, asserted that the only “full cup of justice” would be a murder conviction. Mr. Penny’s lawyers predict their client will be fully exonerated, arguing that he merely “stepped in to protect himself and his fellow New Yorkers.”
