Jordan Neely killing/Daniel Penny charges

Which is precisely why it served his purposes. Which was precisely my point. His lawyer / team got something very sympathetic to their client in the outlet that reaches more actual every day New Yorkers than any other at this point, reaching an audience that isn't scrutinizing the credibility or lack of it of the NY Post the way people on this message board are.

What they were hoping for is that when people are standing around discussing the case, one guy who vaguely remembers seeing Penny speak for the first time tells the five other guys he's talking to how reasonable he sounded and how well spoken he was and how he shouldn't be facing a trial.

It's absurd that someone on here can't get that, and called his lawyer "unintelligent" because he confuses the relentless political prism he looks at everything through with what is best for Penny, whose only objective is to not be convicted of manslaughter.

 

You are probably correct.

But as much as you seem to just want to argue for the sake of arguing about this, do you really think that him giving that interview and getting that kind of piece written was a bad thing for him or that his lawyer was steering him wrong? (what I was responding to)

A piece like that can only help him in the court of public opinion. And that is where his lawyer is busy at work right now. That piece couldn't have been any better for his purposes than it was.

 

That piece was really good for his client.

I hope you are not comparing Penny to Kyle Rittenhouse and are just talking about the Murdoch publication taking on causes. Because I don't think this is anything like what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse.

Yes, it is sad that people are using this story and the people involved to try to advance their cartoon agendas. That applies to way more people than Rupert Murdoch. There are two tribes engaged in that fight, trying to make Neely and Penny each fit their narrative, and they are both depressing, to me at least.

 

I was talking about his motives and what happened. Not your "the right" narratives. By all accounts, Kyle Rittenhouse was a little shit who went out looking for conflict, carrying an automatic style weapon. By all accounts, this was a guy who was just riding the subway home, and a guy who was acting menacingly came on the train and started screaming threats at people. You had a narrative in your mind before you had any facts. Even now you have a narrative in your head. Mar-a-Lago.
