The first charge, second-degree manslaughter, was dismissed without prejudice. Perhaps the prosecutor is thinking about re-charging now that Penny's been acquitted. Wouldn't surprise me in the least since Bragg has such delusions of grandeur. Gonna get his man no matter what despite what 12 of Penny's peers think.
Now I'm wondering if Bragg is going to bring charges against the ANTIFA leader who threatened to go vigilante on white people. 'Course he won't because black.

The judge and the ADA are responsible for this not guilty verdict.
The jury was deadlocked on the manslaughter charge, which should have been declared a mistrial under New York state law. Then the DA could have refiled for another trial on the lesser charges. But the ADA ask the judge to direct the jury to consider the lesser charge, AND THE JUDGE AGREED.. This would have resulted in a mis-directed verdict, which would have been overturned on appeal, and the case sent back down for retrial. Supposedly the jury had 2 NY attorneys on it, and they didn't take kindly to this violation of legal procedure. The question is: did they explain everything to the other jury members, and lead the jury to the verdict?
Prosecutorial misconduct is going to start resulting in more & more jury nullifications.
How in blazes did the attorneys survive voir dire? What prosecutor or defense att would think that a great idea? Unless they had prior knowledge of the ideological bent of the jury attorneys. Even then, as close to a 100% guarantee of how those att would decide after hearing the case.
I was called for a jury this summer; they never asked about jobs. I don't know how common that is these days. Many years ago I heard a pastor lament that he would never serve on a jury... Same as with lawyers. Jonathan
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.

And he should certainly move out of NYC.
At a minimum.
There's no such thing as a "former" Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine.

The only problem with Show Trials is, on occasion the "Show Jury" screws up and doesn't return the prescribed verdict.

Or give him a pocket FULL of pardons and a couple Red Bulls

Is open or concealed carry of AR pattern rifles recommended on NYC subway trains? Asking for a friend.
@FST,
That's the point: If you can't have it, you shouldn't be there.

I won't be fully satisfied until prosecutorial misconduct results in greetings from constituents like that received by the CEO of United Healthcare.
Make Toying With People's Lives Great Again.
Prosecutorial misconduct needs to get the prosecutor the maximum sentence they were trying to hang on the defendant.
