The exonerated Marine veteran, Daniel Penny, has given his first interview to Judge Jeanine Pirro following his acquittal in the criminal trial, where he was charged with manslaughter in the death of a homeless Michael Jackson impersonator, Jordan Neely, after placing him in a chokehold on a New York subway last year. Meanwhile, Neely’s father, Andrew Zachery, spoke out about the civil suit he’s filed against Mr. Penny seeking pecuniary relief.     

“I am not a confrontational person. I don’t really extend myself. All this,” a shy Mr. Penny told Judge Pirro on Tuesday, “this type of thing is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight,” he paused, “is very uncomfortable. I would prefer (to be) without it.”
