Jordan Neely’s household responds to killer Daniel Penny’s request for forgiveness by means of their representatives.
“Daniel Penny’s press launch shouldn’t be an apology nor an expression of remorse. It’s a character assassination, and a transparent instance of why he believed he was entitled to take Jordan’s life. Within the first paragraph he talks about how ‘good’ he’s and the following paragraph he talks about how ‘dangerous’ Jordan was in an effort to persuade us Jordan’s life was ‘nugatory.’ The reality is, he knew nothing about Jordan’s historical past when he deliberately wrapped his arms round Jordan’s neck, and squeezed and stored squeezing. Within the final paragraph, Daniel Penny means that most people has proven ‘indifference’ for folks like Jordan, however that time period is extra appropriately used to explain himself. It’s clear he’s the one who acted with indifference, each on the time he killed Jordan and now in his first public message. He by no means tried to assist him in any respect. Briefly, his actions on the practice, and now his phrases, present why he must be in jail,” says Attorneys Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards.
Mayor Eric Adams please give us a name. The household needs you to know that Jordan issues. You appear to suppose others are extra necessary than him. You can’t “help” somebody with a chokehold. #houselessness #mentalhealth
