Justice is served...
We can only imagine why the upper charge was deadlocked, while it only took a couple of hours to come back not-guilty on the lower charge. The only thing that makes sense is that there were an overwhelming amount of not-guilty jurists for the first count, and the hold-outs decided it wasn't worth holding out for the lower charge. I don't know.
Either way, this is a better outcome for Penny than a mistrial would have been. Pretty sure this was not what Bragg and his crony on the bench expected, but that makes the verdict all the more satisfying.
Odds are changing:

The concept that this was all about "White Supremacy" is raging around the courthouse right now. Members of the family (as well as members of other families such as Eric Garner) were there trying to incite people. It's time to put the breaks on this.. if NY allows more riots to break out then we will never get past this sort of thing. If they arrest them, and put a stop to it, then (and only then) will the race baiters take any sort of pause.. and even then, they probably go in with their exercise in futility for a while.
Glad to see Assad is gone in Syria, we just have make those poor ISIS refugees and others don’t come here for the next 5-6 weeks
George on X: "NYPD is already arresting BLM lunatics outside the courthouse where Daniel Penny was found innocent. This would never have happened in 2020 because BLM had free rein to do whatever they pleased. But NOT AGAIN. Good on those cops. https://t.co/nfhnZ2XEsS" / X
