Daniel Penny “went for the jugular,” remarked assistant D.A Dafna Yoran in her opening statement as she described Jordan Neely’s last moments.
I'm honored to be Amsterdam News' Publisher and my father, Wilbert"Bill" Tatum, before me.

Yoran avoided commenting on the fierce national debate on Penny’s extrajudicial intervention in her opening statement and instead focused on pointing out his recklessness . She even acknowledged the situation was likely scary for passengers. While defendant opening statements are optional, Kenniff passionately painted Penny as a good Samaritan who protected his fellow passengers from an unknown, imminent danger. He described the ex-marine stepping into action after seeing a mother protecting her child, illustrating a desperate fight-or-flight ordeal underground in a cramped space that left no time for de-escalation.
