Jury Wants Videos As Judge
Denies Bid to Ban Protester
from Courtroom

CENTRE STREET,
Dec 4 – The day after the
Daniel Penny trial evidence
closed on November 22, a new
book was published about the
case, "Daniel Penny for Your
Thoughts," e-book and
audiobook on Amazon here.
Inner City Press reporter
Matthew Russell Lee live
streamed the NYPD's perp walk
on Elizabeth Street in May
2023, through the trial in
November. He obtained and
included the autopsy, court
records - and some reflections
of his character Kurt
Wheelock, previously reviewed
in New York magazine. Now, in
the courtroom during jury
deliberations and notes, from
the thread:
Judge Wiley: We
have received a note. The jury
is requesting the Vasquez
video, compilation of the
body-cam video, and video of
the interview. We'll send the
laptop back
Then the defense
brought up the protests
outside, including threats of
homosexual rape (in / if
prison), noting that a
protester who blocked the
defense in their vehicle has
been in the courtroom in a
privileged position.
ADA Dafna Yoran
replied that people have a
right to protest. Judge Wiley
said he would take no action
for now. The jurors got the
laptop.
