Then on December 9, hours after the jury's not guilty verdict on Count 2 -- after Count 1 was dismissed at the last minutes -- Inner City Press published the sequel, "Danny Penny Not Guilty: The Jury's Strange Path," e-book and audiobook here.
Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee live streamed the NYPD's perp walk on Elizabeth Street in May 2023, through the trial i November. He obtained and included the autopsy, court records - and some reflections of his character Kurt Wheelock, previously reviewed in New York magazine.
The book begins: "Penny's was a divisive case, a sort of Rashomon.
Prosecutor Dafna Yoran came in, then Daniel Penny and his flotilla of lawyers and helpers. One guy was on the Get Gotti documentary series on Netflix. He looked older now, and limped. But he was on the team.
Judge Wiley read the note: We the jury cannot reach unanimity on Count 1.
Paperback coming.
