On May 10th, in response to Daniel Penny killing Jordan Neely on the subway last week, Susan Lerner, Executive Director of Common Cause/NY, put out the following statement:

“Equal application of the law is a fundamental tenet of democracy, one that District Attorney Bragg has exemplified. We urge the D.A. to make no exception now in the case of Jordan Neely – a confirmed homicide by the coroner – and arrest and charge Penny accordingly. We call on our elected officials to condemn citizens taking the law into their own hands.”
