Sean Hannity, Fox News host, expressed his strong belief that the case against Daniel Penny should never have been brought to court, calling it a "travesty of justice." He shared his views on the "Hannity" program following the not-guilty verdict in the Daniel Penny trial. Penny was acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely on the subway. This followed the judge's dismissal of a manslaughter charge due to a deadlocked jury. Hannity questioned the prosecution's rationale, highlighting Neely's history of erratic behavior and threats towards himself and others on the subway. He characterized Penny's actions as those of a "brave Good Samaritan" intervening to protect fellow passengers from a "clear and present danger." Hannity emphasized the perceived injustice of prosecuting someone who intervened in a situation where a disturbed individual was threatening violence in a confined public space.
