[@fred2228]

I’m retired from 30 years in big city police and later, federal law enforcement. I’ve done many interviews for many kinds of cases. I cannot stress enough the importance of consulting with an attorney prior to giving a statement, and having that attorney present during an interview. A good attorney would have helped him bring out more detail. His description of the offender’s actions lacks critical details justifying his actions, that we learned from witness testimony at trial. His responses to the detectives lack a serious tone and he appears almost happy he was involved in a confrontation. He did not know at the time of the interview the offender died, but regardless, if you’re talking with law enforcement about something you’re directly involved in, not just as a witness, get an attorney before you make any statements. There is nothing casual about being interviewed by law enforcement.

[@stefpix]

You make really good points. I commented before reading yours. I feel the truth may lie in the middle. Still the fact Penny acts so giddy, like these detectives are his buddies he met at a bar is kind of off. He just killed a man, and whether he may not be fully aware of that, he may still know that it was the case. I have seen interviews of war veterans who killed enemy combatants and showed respect and somberness about the lives they ended. Penny seems to show some kind of narcissistic or sociopathic traits. Maybe he read too many super hero cartoons growing up. Weren't 2 people who held the Neely down worried that Penny was holding too tight and say something? Penny comes across too full of himself in this interrogation. If I were a juror and I saw this it would make me feel he is guilty on some level. There is something reckless in his behavior. His intention might have been to not kill Neely, still this interrogation makes him appear careless and reckless somehow

[@fred2228]

@@stefpix I couldn't disagree with you more. I've interviewed many hundreds of people, including offenders, victims, and victims who defended themselves and/or who defended others against attacks. I'm no psychiatrist, but I'm sure I've met people with narcissistic or sociopathic traits. I'm certain of that. LEOs get formal interview training, with rapport building and analysis of body language. Employing those learned skills many times over, good interviewers can work with almost anyone, and also identify narcissistic and sociopathic traits. Good interviewers will play those traits against the subject. Penny isn't full of himself. His apparent cockyness is likely a defense measure, knowing he had morally good intentions, and also knowing the situation is serious; more serious than a fight on the subway. He'd know that because he was sitting in a police station. Given his military background, which I think has no disciplinary or UMCJ history, he has likely known others who have engaged in unlawful conduct, and he likely witnessed fellow marines being taken in for questioning for serious matters, verses small offenses and simple questioning by uniformed officers on the street or at a base. He's clearly not simple-minded. He has a comfort level, because he is used to authority figures, and he shares a common bond with one of the detectives, who was a marine. Penny gave an honest interview, backed up by many witnesses, all of whom are independent of Penny, and are considered impartial, unless otherwise proven. My only point is that Penny would have been served better if he had asked for an attorney before questioning. A skilled defense attorney would have aided him in being more guarded with his responses, and sticking to more detailed material facts of why he needed to restrain Neely. Penny could have stated more of Neely's threats, directed at specific people, rather than using a few general examples. Neely was aggressively in people's faces, shouting specific threats. That's what the witnesses say. An important element of the offense of Assault, anywhere in the country, is when the victim is placed in immediate fear of receiving a battery. In some states there are different degrees of assault, such as fear vs. unlawful touching. Other states break it out as assault (fear) and battery (unlawful touching). There were multiple people who gave statements and later testimony of being in fear for their physical safety. It would have served him better to be more detailed about things Neely said to specific victims. Nevertheless, this interview is a solid defense, backed up by witnesses. There is nothing wrong with Penny. He defended others against violence, which often requires its own violence. The key point in this case is whether Penny was reckless or negligent, or were his actions reasonable and lawful. I have my opinion, but admittedly, I haven't heard everything the jury has, and likely neither has anyone who is commenting on this post.

[@stefpix]

​@@fred2228 It is a bit hard to follow your long reply without line breaks and spacing. I understand from what you say he may feel camraderie with the detectives because there may be affinity between people in law enforcement and in the military. I have been living in NYC for more than 2 decades and I have seen a lot and in recent years there are more and more people with severe mental issues roaming the streets. So somehow stepping in and trying to deal with a potentially dangerous situation, putting oneself at risk is something to be appreciated. Penny seemed to have training and strength, and put Neely in a chokehold for a long time. Penny in this clip shows no concern nor interest for the person he subdued and killed. He seems very casual about it. I understand that soldiers may be trained at dehumanizing their adversaries and enemies. But Neely was someone desperate with a mental breakdown. In the chokehold video it seems the 2 bystanders who joined in to help restrain Neely had concern about him breathing. All this gives me the impression that Penny, as you say acted "cocky", both at the interrogation and during the chokehold. The 2 other people restaining Neely showed more awareness. All this gives me the impression that Penny lacks humanity. Of course the situation was stressful, traumatic and Penny may have been in shock. But to my eye there is something offputting. I just watched this today for the first time. I was pretty half way about Penny, in the polarized public opinion. After seeing this, I can see he had good intentions, but also he is a person that lacks a sense of depth and may feel a bit like a super hero, or maybe he is just immature. Or maybe it is how soldiers are trained. Having grown up in Europe, sometimes I feel life in the US is cheap, and lethal force is justified more than elsewhere. I was put in a chockehold once by a bouncer because I had a camera at a nightclub where a friend was DJing. I was ok to leave, I just had asked to allow me to let my friends know I was leaving. He put me in a chokehold. I could not make any sound nor inhale or exhale at all. In my view it was unreasonable and I was not really expecting it. They pushed me out. I can imagine how being in a choke hold for minutes can kill you. I go spearfishing, so I am used to hold my breath underwater. I shoot fish with a speargun. I do eat the fish. But I know I am taking a life. I look at the fish in the eyes and I know they want to live, I wonder if they feel fear and what kind of physical pain. Of course if I eat sushi at a Japanese restaurant, someone else killed the fish, and those thoughts do not come to mind. Still even if Penny killed in some sort of self defense situation, he seems so cavalier about it. He seems so reckless, like his brain works on a reptilian level. It is offputting seeing him treating the detectives like they are new buddies he met at the gym or at a bar. I can see the detective does not fall for it and they seem professional and neutral. If I were a juror, and I was shown this, I would think Penny has some degree of guilt and would also need to go through psychiatric evaluation and mandated counseling as part of a sentence.

@@stefpixYour comment really resonated with me, I only looked into all of this for the first time this morning and felt uncomfortable with how binary people were in their view of it.. I’m European and one of my first thoughts in response to people’s reactions was that life seems to have less value in the USA. I understand that at this point he may not have understood the man was dead, which arguably makes a huge difference to how you would behave. But even when I watched the body cam interviews of witnesses I was struck by how unphased they were by a man lying dead a few metres away. Of course I understand he was threatening.. but even still I would feel a shock and sadness to see a life taken before my eyes. It is a very very sad situation. On a side not, I’ve seen many people commenting that if you don’t live in New York don’t judge, as it is very intimidating when threatened in public. So I keep in mind I can’t fully understand.

They will lead you to believe they have information and evidence on you they don't have and even make it seem desirable for you to admit to things you didn't do just to make the case resolve faster. It happened to me when I was 19 years old. I had nothing to do with a crime that committed, but cops thought that because I worked at a facility where it took place, they'd see if they could get something out of me. They did the good cop/bad cop routine, told me if I admitted to the crime, it would be over soon and even told me they had audio recordings of me phoning in bomb threats. I was a kid. I was intimidated more than you can imagine and I almost admitted to it just to make them stop.

It would be better if you could identify a particular circumstance where they are clearly gunning for you and you should not talk to them. For example: if they bring you into an interrogation room, is that always time to ask for a lawyer, or does it happen innocently? If you are talking to police on the street, what are some signs you may be a suspect? Obviously, if you feel that you have committed a crime, you should probably not talk to them without a lawyer. But what if you don't think you've committed a crime? People have killed under similar circumstances and not faced any kind of prosecution in other parts of the country.
