“The View” co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin expressed frustration over the acquittal of Daniel Penny, the former U.S. Marine who was found not guilty in the negligent murder of homeless man Jordan Neely on Monday.

During Tuesday’s episode of the ABC daytime talk show, Goldberg criticized Penny and his legal defense team for celebrating the defendant’s acquittal verdict at a bar, while Hostin suggested that the verdict was wrong because Neely did not seriously threaten anyone on the subway before Penny threatened him missed a chokehold.

“And when you look at that and the result of what happened, my question is: Where is our compassion as a society?” Hostin asked, suggesting that justice has not been served.

JORDAN NEELY’S FAMILY SHOCKED BY Navy vet’s lack of remorse after death from New York subway chokehold

“The View” co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin complained about Daniel Penny’s acquittal in the death of homeless man Jordan Neely.

Penny, a 26-year-old Navy veteran and architecture student, was charged last year with manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter for the chokehold death of Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia, on the subway and storming onto the train shouting death threats while high on a type of synthetic marijuana known as K2.

The first charge against Penny was dismissed last week, while he was found not guilty in the second case. Whoopi expressed her frustration after seeing Penny at a bar celebrating the verdict with his legal team.

“I don’t know if I was comfortable seeing her partying in a bar,” she began, adding, “I mean, you killed a man. The man is dead and maybe just – you’re taking the celebration home, you.” Don’t do it outside. But that’s just me.

She then sympathized with Neely, explaining, “And people get conflicted because he was a sick man and the more information we learn about him now – it turns out his mother was murdered and that might have been the reason.” , why he became mentally disturbed.” Gone.”

“Failure is everywhere here,” Goldberg added. “There is a failure of the system…failure on the part of the courts, failure on the part of the hospitals and failure on our part and how we deal with it.”

Later in the discussion, Hostin denied that Neely posed as much of a threat to subway riders as he reportedly did before Penny put him in the chokehold.

“That’s the thing: How do we describe and subscribe to danger and who is dangerous, right?” she began. “Neely, a former Michael Jackson impersonator – he talked about being hungry and thirsty and he said he didn’t care if he lived or died. There is no evidence that he attacked anyone. There is no evidence that he laid hands on anyone.” –”

“On this occasion,” chimed in co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin. At the beginning of the post, she expressed her opinion that Penny was not the “villain” in this report.

“On this occasion,” Hostin repeated, acknowledging Griffin’s point. She continued: “No one on the train would have known he had touched anyone beforehand. Several people stated that he did not approach anyone in a threatening manner.”

The co-host then cited Whoopi’s argument that killing Neely’s mother destroyed his mental health.

“And his family says that’s when his mental health began to deteriorate,” Hostin said. “Where is our compassion as a society?”
