bbc.com —
Daniel Penny, recently acquitted of homicide in the death of a homeless man, attended the Army-Navy football game as a guest of honor with President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect JD Vance. This marks a shift in his public profile after the trial. Penny was cleared of criminally negligent homicide for using a chokehold on Jordan Neely during a subway confrontation. His case drew significant attention, highlighting issues of public safety and mental health. The Army-Navy game is a major annual event in American sports. Penny's lawyer stated that his client viewed the invitation as an honor, not a political statement. A civil lawsuit from Neely's father is pending.
