The funds donated to Penny more than doubled within 24 hours, with interest in helping him briefly overwhelming GiveSendGo’s servers.
An eyewitness recounted Neely expressing his willingness to “take a bullet” or go to jail for killing people on the train.
Video of the altercation shows several individuals working to restrain Neely, with Penny grabbing him in a headlock. When first responders arrived at the scene, Neely had passed out and they were unable to revive him.
Neely had an extensive arrest record and was wanted in connection with a 2021 assault on a 67-year-old woman.
Penny surrendered to authorities on Friday after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg decided to charge him with second-degree manslaughter. Penny faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
He was released from custody on $100,000 cash bail, according to CBS News. His next court appearance is slated for July. Source

COME LORD JESUS!
