Daniel Penny is now scheduled to be arraigned in Manhattan criminal court on two counts of homicide in connection with the May 1 death of Jordan Neely. The arraignment will take place on June 28, according to a spokesperson for the office of Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, the New York Post reports.
Penny was indicted on Wednesday by a grand jury. In Manhattan, it is customary for the indictment to be unsealed at the time of arraignment. Penny’s indictment has not been unsealed, but it has been reported that he is charged with two counts: second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. The difference between these charges is essentially the difference between recklessness and mere negligence.
