daniel penny speaks after escaping nyc's communist 'legal system';

Marine vet Daniel Penny blamed a failed criminal justice system for forcing him into his highly-charged encounter with vagrant Jordan Neely on a crowded subway train — and slammed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for taking him to trial in the case.

Penny, 26, speaking to Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro in his first interview since a jury acquitted him of negligent homicide charges, said prosecutors seem to have their heads in the sand.

“It really showed their arrogance in kind of their lack of understanding of what’s really happening and, really, what public perception of crime [is],” he said. “And no matter whatever anyone says on the news, it’s pretty prevalent. It just showed their arrogance that they were going to get me on something.

“It was disheartening for sure — and I don’t mean to get political,” he told Pirro. “These are their policies that have clearly not worked, that the people, the general population are not in support of.

“Yet, their egos are too big just to admit that they’re wrong and they can’t reverse what they’ve done, because that’s a political suicide for them, I guess,” Penny said.
