Retired Marine Daniel Penny survived Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s lawfare jihad against him.
Now Penny is speaking out for the first time since his acquittal.
And Daniel Penny admitted this one thing to Judge Jeanine Pirro that took her completely by surprise.
Daniel Penny gives his first interview to Judge Jeanine
Radical leftist DA Alvin Bragg and the Judge did their best to rig the trial against Penny by letting the jury consider a lesser charge after deadlocking on manslaughter.
But despite their attempts, Daniel Penny heard the words he was hoping for.
“Not guilty.”
Bragg tried to jail Penny for the death of the violent and mentally ill career criminal Jordan Neely.
Penny saw Neely threatening the lives of his fellow passengers on a New York City subway car and took action to protect the innocent.
And for his heroic actions, Bragg had him arrested and charged.
Penny discussed his encounter with Neely during an interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro for the Fox Nation streaming service.
In the interview, Penny described how he saw and heard Neely saying he didn’t care if he went to jail for the rest of his life – he had no problem killing people.
Penny explained that he put Neely in a restraining hold he learned in the Marines designed to subdue an attacker and held the hold for six minutes.
Penny told Pirro he couldn’t let Neely go because doing so would have left him exposed.
“He was just threatening to kill people. He was threatening to go to jail forever, go to jail for the rest of his life. And now where I’m on the ground with him, I’m on my back in a very vulnerable position. If I just would have let go now, he’d turn,” Penny began.
Pirro asked Penny what he meant by that
Penny described how, since he was on his back, if he let Neely go, Neely would be able to turn around and get on top of him and try to kill him while Penny remained in a defenseless position.
“Well, if I just let him go, I’m on my back now you can just turn around and start doing what he said to me,” Penny added.
Penny told Pirro that he has no desire to fight or confront anyone, but that he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself if he sat back and allowed Neely to hurt an innocent person.
“I mean I’m not a confrontational person. I don’t really extend myself and like this type of thing is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable and I would prefer without it. I didn’t want any type of attention or praise or and I still don’t. The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt if he did what he was threatening to do I never would be able to live with myself. I’ll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed,” Penny continued.
Many people believe Daniel Penny is a hero and innocent people may have been hurt or killed if he hadn’t done something.

Penny then told Pirro that he didn’t want to get political, but that Bragg’s pro-crime policies, such as no cash bail – that allow the likes of Neely to remain on the streets despite over 40 arrests – are what create these situations and put the general public in awful situations.
“These are their policies that are, and I don’t mean to get political, I don’t really want to make any enemies, really although I guess I have already. But I mean, these are their policies that have clearly not worked, that the people, the general population, are not in support of, yet their egos are too big just to admit that they’re wrong,” Penny concluded.
And it is those left-wing, pro-criminal policies that almost cost Penny his freedom.
