Daniel Penny’s press release is not an apology nor an expression of regret, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, Attorneys representing the family of Jordan Neely, via NBC.
It is a character assassination, and a clear example of why he believed he was entitled to take Jordan‘s life, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards, Attorneys representing the family of Jordan Neely, via NBC.
Lawyers for Penny claim that Neely suffered from mental illness and has a documented history of erratic and violent behavior.
NBC reports that Neely's family argue that Penny was unaware of the homeless man's struggles when he put him in a chokehold.
