The Subway Strangler finally arrested

Quote:

Daniel Penny, who while riding the subway last week choked Jordan Neely, a homeless man, to death, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court Friday on a charge of second-degree manslaughter, taking his first formal steps as a defendant in a case that has stunned New York City. Mr. Penny, handcuffed and dressed in a dark gray suit and white dress shirt, stood straight and still before the judge, Kevin McGrath. He did not enter a plea to the charge, as he has yet to be indicted by a grand jury, and spoke only to answer the judge’s questions and acknowledge that he would next appear in court on July 17. He was released after posting bail.

Protests had erupted after NYPD made the inexplicable decision not to arrest Penny at the scene, despite it being abundantly clear that he had caused the strangulation death of his victim, a homeless man named Jordan Neely.

Penny has become a cause celebre of blood thirsty right wing freaks who are scared of big cities and think they need to be ruled with an iron fist.
