CENTRE STREET,
Dec 6 – 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 fourth
day of jury deliberations and
notes, from the thread:
Judge Wiley: We
have received a note from the
jury, We would like
instruction from Judge Wiley,
we are unable to reach a
unanimous verdict on Count 1.
Parties?
Penny's lawyer
Kenniff: They shouldn't
consider Count 2. Judge: I
have to give them an Allen
charge
ADA Dafna Yoran:
It would be a crazy result
that they can't move on to
Count 2. Judge: I have to ask
them to try to reach a verdict
on Count 1. Do you want time?
ADA Yoran: Let me talk to my
colleagues. [Bragg?] Judge:
All step out.
Now what?
