A 66-year-old woman witness to the incident spoke anonymously to The New York Post last night on the eve of Penny’s arraignment to support him. She said there are more videos of the altercation leading up to the strangulation that she believes will clear Penny of wrongdoing. ‘So I think those videos will be featured, maybe people will do it anonymously. ‘I hope he has a great lawyer, and I’m praying for him. And I pray they treat him fairly, really. “Because after all this, I went back and made sure to say ‘thank you.'”
She said Neely caused the strangulation by threatening the entire train and many of them took the threats seriously. “He said, ‘I don’t care. I’ll take a bullet, I’ll go to jail’ because he would kill people on the train.” He said, “I’d kill a son of a bitch.” I don’t mind. I’ll take a bullet. I will go to jail.

Protests broke out near the Broadway Lafayette subway station, where Neely died. In an effort to calm public outrage and debate over the case, New York City Mayor Eric Adams initially called for patience.
