From Hero to Defendant: The Legal Consequences of Defending Others
Yesterday, a New York City grand jury indicted Daniel Penny, who had been charged with second-degree (reckless) manslaughter in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely on a NYC subway on May 1. Penny has claimed that he put Jordan in a restraining choke-hold position because Jordan had been making violent threats to the passengers on the subway car, and Penny was attempting to hold him for police. Penny is white and Neely was black.
Also yesterday, Jordan Williams was arrested on a charge of manslaughter for stabbing to death Devictor Ouedraogo, also on a NYC subway car, purportedly in defense of Williams' girlfriend from Ouedraogo's threatening conduct towards her. Williams is black, and I'm unaware of Ouedraogo's race.
