The Jury is Deadlocked in the Daniel Penny Soros Prosecution

Deadlocked.

UPDATE: Jurors are instructed to continue deliberating under an Allen charge, after the defense asked for a mistrial, saying such would be "coercive." The judge disagreed, sending the jury back to deliberations.

Afterward, another note came in. Jurors are seeking clarification in determining whether a person reasonably believes physical force is necessary: "We'd like to better understand the term 'reasonable person.' Can the judge elaborate?"

"Ultimately, what a reasonable person is is up to you to decide," the judge told jurors. He suggested a two-part test: Did Penny actually believe Neely would use deadly force? Would a reasonable person in Penny's position have the same beliefs?

***Original story***

Jurors are deadlocked in Daniel Penny's trial over the death of Jordan Neely.

Following days of deliberation since they started debating the case Tuesday afternoon, the jury told the judge presiding over the proceedings that they're struggling to come to an agreement on a verdict concerning the top charge of second-degree manslaughter.

As they were mulling over the former U.S. Marine's fate, the 12-person panel sent a note Friday morning saying they could not reach a consensus on whether or not to convict Penny of "recklessly" causing Neely's death.

"We the jury request instructions from Judge [Maxwell] Wiley. At this time, we are unable to come to a unanimous vote on Count 1 -- manslaughter in the second degree," read the note, sent around 11 a.m.

If the jury is unable to reach a decision, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley reportedly would be required to hand them what's known as an "Allen charge," i.e. instructions urging jurors to agree on a unanimous verdict.

The name is derived from an 1896 Supreme Court decision in Allen v. United States.

It's considered controversial, and critics warn that such instructions could push jurors to switch up under peer pressure.

"In this case, I think that they can't move on to Count 2 unless they find the defendant not guilty of Count 1," Wiley told both sides despite protests from the prosecution. "I have to at least try to ask the jury to find a verdict on Count 1."

The latest development on the fact-finding body being deadlocked heightens speculations that the trial will result in a hung jury, meaning a retrial.

...

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley noted that the question now is whether the judge will instruct the jury to consider the second charge of criminal negligence. Wiley did express doubt over whether, in the absence of a unanimous verdict on the manslaughter charge, he could tell them to move on to the criminally negligent charge.

Even if the jury rejected the top charge, the prosecution was hoping they'd compromise on the lower one. That could still be the case, depending on what the court instructs.

"Many of us cannot see how this case could have produced a conviction with the layers of reasonable doubt in the evidence," Turley tweeted. "The absence of clear causation makes a conviction difficult to justify in such a case."

Perfect.

Prepare for all white men to be "deadlocked" in their decision-making about intervening to save anyone else in NYC, forever.

Start carrying guns, lefties. Because you demanded that cops stop policing, and you want to hang civilians who step into the breach.

So you c*nts are on your own now.

When the police got there, he was still alive, but none of them would do mouth-to-mouth because they were afraid to get something like hepatitis C or HIV. So he died

Depends on the .32. NYPD was using .32 S&W Long when TR ran the show. Less oomph, better accuracy and shot placement.

.32 ACP was (and still is) a police caliber in Europe.

Of course, .32 Mag hits like a ton of bricks, has excellent penetration and hollow point expansion, but less felt recoil than .38, which it overmatches.

Except for crematoriums, United Healthcare is "vertically integrated" in medical practices, from insurance, through doctors' offices, ER, hospitals, pharmacy purchasing, pharmacies and medicare settlement. You could spend your life, cradle to grave, in their grasp, and pay through the nose for the privilege of being denied coverage due to one part of the conglomerate refusing another part's recommendation due to cost concerns/

The purpose of that vertical integration originally was to ensure efficiency, and apparently the efficiency demanded is similar to Tyson's view of handling cattle: in the end what is left is used for fertilizer.

119 From the previous thread --

Bragg is pulling-out all the stops. If this, from Daily Mail, doesn't make your blood boil you're dead.

"Under a barrage of public criticism for bringing charges, the prosecutors in Alvin Bragg's office have been on a mission to remind the jury that Penny may not get any prison time at all, even if he is found guilty.

That's down to the fact there is no minimum sentence for two of the charges he is facing.

The DA's office has been contacting news outlets, including Daily Mail, requesting for that fact to be pushed to the forefront of coverage.

Penny's lawyers say it's the latest desperate attempt to get the jury to convict him, on the notion that they will be more inclined to do so if they know he won't rot in prison for years. "

>>>But if Penny is convicted we all know Bragg's stooge will strongly recommend the maximum sentence.

Private hospitals in London have a set charge for procedures and hospital stays, which includes all nursing, medications, food and doctors visits. (Also tea several times a day, which was quite nice!) You were apprised of the charges before hand so that you could make a decision to go private or wait for NHS availability. Now, the downside is medical care in London: every procedure we had to have done there had to be repeated and fixed in the US, because despite what too many like to bleat, we have extraordinary medical care here. ACA just screwed it up for everyone.

Dollars are finite and people's desire for healthcare spending is high.

So either the government has to take A LOT more from everyone to pay for all the healthcare people want, or it is has to go back to people directly paying for their own.

The middle ground we are in is due to people wishing health care was cheap...and while the people in the health insurance industry aren't angels they aren't the cause of this problem.

Not one of Trump's nominees in 2017 lost the floor vote. Betsy DeVos had to get a Pence vote to get through the 50/50 vote, but she got through.

That includes Rex Harrison who got 4 Democrats to vote for him.

I think GOP senators are fucking terrified of putting their opposition into actual votes. Rhetoric gets forgotten pretty quickly. Votes are much easier to point to as betrayals in things like primary ads.

I suspect Ernst is posturing with no intention of actually tanking Hegseth's nomination. Maybe she'll get to vote against him, but even when Trump was the surprise president with Russian collusion gearing up and Access Hollywood fresh in everyone's mind, he still got everyone through.

We voted to keep him locked up in 5 minutes. He was the scariest dude I've ever been around. He raped little girls by climbing in their bedrooms at night and molested little girls in the library. Stranger rapes.

The question up for debate was not "Did he do it?" because the whole thing was caught on camera an(d there were multiple eyewitnesses and the guy confessed), but rather, "Is he competent to even stand trial?" We weren't going to see forensic evidence but instead get a procession of psychiatrist charlatans debating whether or not the perpetrator "understood the consequences of his actions" and knew right from wrong.

I was ready to convict him as soon as I heard what the case was even about, but didn't want to participate in the charade for months on end, so I managed to get myself kicked out of the jury pool during the selection phase by answering question with statements like, "If he did it, why are we even having a trial?" and "All criminals could be deemed mentally ill if you stretched the definition," and so on. I was excused, much to my great relief

For instance, WC statues and fee schedules allow for providers to get 1.75 x Medicare fee schedule for hospitalizations or more .
Providers ‘claim’ that the Medicare fee schedule barely covers their cost.

235 I was ready to convict him as soon as I heard what the case was even about, but didn't want to participate in the charade for months on end, so I managed to get myself kicked out of the jury pool during the selection phase by answering question with statements like, "If he did it, why are we even having a trial?" and "All criminals could be deemed mentally ill if you stretched the definition," and so on. I was excused, much to my great relief

I'm not saying its fair to force normal people to put their normal lives on hold for weeks on end but then you end up with a jury of people that believe this whole facade is reasonable and potentially let the guy go.

It's the politicians that gave them the tools to proceed and the promotions to get it done.

Ernst is particularly interesting (and in this category) because she had the audacity to challenge Hegseth's appointment AND recommend that they choose her instead. She's a primary problem.f

296 Monsignor: And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

I don't know, maybe 3AM in NYC is broad daylight. And people hundreds of feet away, with a building obstructing their view, could use some sort of special NYC X-Ray vision to see into the hallway of the back side of an apartment building to see she was being stabbed.

305 The "reasonable person" question makes sense in the context that the primary witness (who was there before Penny arrived) told Penny that the deceased had threatened to kill them, and he had physically assaulted some passengers.

So, the question related to Penny reacting in a reasonable way based on the information provided by the witness (who later admitted to making that up). The witness told the police the very same thing, but eventually recanted it.

So, I can understand why the question was presented to the judge. I think it's a good thing, actually. It suggests that they are looking at the actions of Penny as it relates to what he was told as well as observed.

338 Driving home this afternoon, there's some construction on an overpass and the service roads have been altered a bit. It's only two lanes with a right turn lane added. The left lane is left only and the right lane (of the 2 lane road) is straight only, which are both clearly marked with signs as you approach AND there's signs next to the stop lights. The left turn lane always backs up, so every day, there's a douche that thinks they're just that much more important than everyone else and turns from the right lane.

As you enter the overpass, the left lane is straight and left turn, so will back up, so me, and lots of others turn into the right lane. The self-important douchebags ALWAYS turn into the right lane and honk.

355 Who knew Mitt Romney was an idiot savant declaring YEARS ago that we needed to be aware of Russia. They're the most powerful f*cking country on the planet, it seems.

The accusation seems to be that Russia or Russian aligned people made TikTok videos supporting the "right wing" candidate.

Yes this is just like the stupid claims of election interference that Russia or Russian aligned people here bought facebook ads in 2016

356 KJP says the official pardon paperwork is in-work by DOJ and the White House Counsel.

This is why the LA Income Tax charges Fed Judge wrote he wants a true and certified copy of the pardon before he ends the case. He wrote, "A press release is not a pardon."

Well you know the ones celebrating the death have no idea. He's just a CEO. They even said it.

Yeah, he made $10 mil a year. That was his crime.

363 No matter how this case goes, NYC loses.

If justice is done and Penny goes free, NYC antifa will riot.
If justice fails and he's found guilty, expecting any help from the decent man in the street is dead.

I still despise the woman he was trying to save for throwing him under the bus. And the parents of the scumbag that are suing Penny are dirt.

I'm sorry you had that problem with people being inconsiderate. You are also under tons of stress right now. It's really hard when someone you love in going through cancer treatments and things are out of your control. However, you are part of the world and you're not selfish. Your wife is part of the world and she's not selfish. The people who are praying for her and you are part of the world too. When things seem overwhelming try to break things down into small pieces. The fact that your wife wanted you to put up Christmas decorations is a positive sign, I think. She hasn't given up.

369 . in what way did he lie to them
==
He also defrauded the entire country by telling they they were going to get a new car and vacations and cruises if they bought nazi stamps. Seriously. He financed the re building of Germany with a fraudulent green stamp campaign. Nobody got cars. There was a half finished vacation hotel, and an ad campaign for a cruise ship.

370 If I ever have to subdue a criminal in city environs, instead of using the super-humane "rear naked choke" position that we use on each other every day in Jiu Jitsu class with no ill effect, I'd better grab him by the hair and repeatedly smash his teeth into the curb, lest I be charged with excessive force.

371 Each of the jury's requests for information are for sure the right-thinking foreman or whoever composes the RFIs, getting written factual details to use on the (likely POC) holdout or holdouts.

Calmly and slowly present them with the facts and keep pressing for reasonable doubt.

But the holdout has her feelings.

372 >>> He suggested a two-part test: Did Penny actually believe Neely would use deadly force?

That 'test' is predicted on the assumption that Perry deliberately killed Neely....
