As the jury in the Daniel Penny case began their deliberations Tuesday in the second-degree manslaughter trial of the 26-year-old former Marine, a Saturday radio appearance by NYC’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams is getting plenty of notice—because Hizzoner appeared to voice his direct support of the defendant.
It was a failure of the system, Adams said, and Penny did “what we should have done as a city”:
“We’re now on the subway where we’re hearing someone talking about hurting people, killing people,” Adams said on the Nov. 30 episode of “The Rob Astorino Show.” “You have someone [Penny] on that subway who was responding, doing what we should have done as a city.”
“Those passengers were afraid,” the mayor added.
