![]() ![]() From The Daily Mail, "Daniel Penny manslaughter charge dismissed after jury fails to reach verdict: Live trial updates": 'I'll take a chance and grant the people's application,' Judge Wiley said after the prosecution asked to dismiss the manslaughter charge against Penny because jurors could not agree on a verdict."Manslaughter requires proving a defendant recklessly caused another person’s death, and carries up to 15 years," the AP reports. "Criminally negligent homicide, which carries punishments ranging from probation to up to four years in prison, involves engaging in serious 'blameworthy conduct' while not perceiving such a risk." Penny could not "be convicted of both charges, according to the judge's instructions to the jury," CNN reports. Jurors could only consider the criminally negligent homicide charge if they found Penny not guilty of second-degree manslaughter, CNN noted. If the judge simply declared a mistrial there's a good chance that District Attorney Alvin Bragg wouldn't even bother charging him again due to the political backlash he has faced. The whole idea that "it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" is being turned on its head just to find Penny guilty of something.
