About this episode
After months of controversy striking at the heart of New York City's crime crisis, Marine Veteran Daniel Penny had his manslaughter charge dismissed and was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide for the death of Jordan Neely. Nick Ohnell Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, Rafael Mangual, has written extensively about urban crime and jail violence to broader matters of criminal and civil justice reform.
Ben and Rafael break down the investigation, the trial, and what the result means for a city torn over the political circumstances of the moment.
