Daniel Penny Makes Runway Debut After He’s Acquitted of Homicide

Here’s a refresher … Penny put Neely in a chokehold when he began acting “erratically” on the NYC subway. 30-year-old Neely — who authorities say didn’t have a weapon — died during the altercation, with the medical examiner ruling his death as a result of “compression of neck.”

Penny was charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, but was ultimately let off the hook for the lesser charge after the manslaughter charge was dropped.

Penny was described as a “proud New Yorker” at the fashion show … but also has roots in Scotland from the 12th century, according to Carroll.

It makes perfect sense he’d want to be involved — “Dressed to Kilt” is the largest Scottish fashion show in the world and supports Veteran’s causes, such as the Navy Seal Foundation.
