A jury in Manhattan has found Marine Daniel Penny not guilty of the criminally negligent homicide of Jordan Neely, the subway maniac who was threatening fellow straphangers when Penny subdued him with a chokehold.

Today’s welcome verdict was the second count on which Penny prevailed. On Friday, the jury said it was deadlocked on a second-degree manslaughter charge and prosecutors dismissed the charge.

The courtroom audience was pleased. The leader of the city’s extremist Black Lives Matter was not, and threatened vigilante justice against whites.
