Daniel Penny, acquitted in the chokehold death of NYC subway rider Jordan Neely, has gone from facing jail time to being celebrated as a hero. He attended the Army-Navy football game as the guest of soon-to-be Vice President JD Vance, alongside President-elect Trump.
Penny was seen enjoying the game from Trump’s luxury suite, surrounded by figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Ron DeSantis. Vance praised Penny for his courage, while Gabbard emphasized the tribute to service and unity at the event. Penny’s legal team celebrated his acquittal in Manhattan, as he looks to move on and rebuild his life after a tense trial.
