"Funds are being raised to pay Mr. Penny’s legal fees incurred from any criminal charges filed and any future civil lawsuits that may arise, as well as expenses related to his defense," according to the online fundraising page. Penny's attorneys have previously said the veteran acted in self-defense and to protect fellow subway riders from a supposed perceived threat. They say he could"not have foreseen" Neely would die in the chokehold, and have called his death"the unfortunate result" of good Samaritan intervention. They also say he'll be absolved of the charge.
