Daniel Penny was all smiles after being acquitted.
The former member of the Marines was acquitted Monday of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely.
A manslaughter charge was previously dismissed after the jury couldn't reach a unanimous agreement. Penny restrained Neely during a May 2023 incident when the latter entered a New York City metro car and allegedly began threatening people.
After a long trial and being smeared by people, Penny was in a great mood after being found not guilty of the remaining charge.
