JUST IN: Rep. Eli Crane to Introduce Resolution to Award Daniel Penny With Congressional Gold Medal
Trump-Endorsed Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ)
Congressman Eli Crane (R-AZ), a Navy SEAL veteran, plans to introduce a resolution honoring Marine veteran Daniel Penny by awarding him a Congressional Gold Medal, Congress’ highest civilian honor, as the witch hunt persecution continues against the innocent man.
Penny was charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide for using a chokehold to detain Jordan Neely, a homeless man who was threatening to kill people on the subway, in May 2023. Neely later died after police arrived at the scene and opted not to attempt mouth-to-mouth resuscitation due to his appearance of being a drug user.
Now he’s facing criminal charges. He was facing a maximum of 15 years in prison if convicted of the now-dismissed manslaughter charge.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, on Friday morning, the jury informed the judge that they could not come to a unanimous decision regarding the manslaughter charge.
However, the 12-person panel will continue deliberating on Monday whether to convict Penny of criminally negligent homicide.
