The medical examiner in the Daniel Penny case has come under fire for her questionable analysis of the facts, which many viewed as biased against Penny.
The prosecution rested its bogus case yesterday, which centers around whether or not Penny was acting in self-defense in protecting subway passengers from a raving lunatic threatening to kill people. Only in New York City would this even be a subject of debate, let alone a criminal case.
As was the case for George Floyd, Neely had drugs in his system – something the medical examiner didn’t even begin to take into account in her analysis. As the Daily Wire reported:
The New York medical examiner who performed Jordan Neely’s autopsy testified that she determined Neely died from asphyxiation after viewing viral videos of him in a chokehold and without waiting to see a toxicology report.
Dr. Cynthia Harris was the last witness called by the prosecution on Friday, CBS News reported. She testified that, even though Neely had a pulse when police arrived, he still died from Daniel Penny’s chokehold. “This is an asphyxial death. So, in asphyxial death, for lack of a better way of putting it, the brain dies first,” she testified, according to The Washington Times.
Penny’s defense attorneys questioned Harris why Neely’s death certificate originally listed the cause of death as pending further study. Harris said this was due to a misunderstanding from a police report that said Neely had been screaming while police were present. But, after viewing video of Penny restraining Neely in a chokehold and appearing unresponsive, Harris made her determination about the cause of death – without waiting for the toxicology report.
Harris told the defense that even if Neely had enough fentanyl in his system to take out an elephant, she still would have ruled that he died from asphyxiation.
Does this sound like someone with a political agenda to you?
It sure does to us at Wokespy – and a quick search through the FEC’s individual contribution records reveals that Dr. Harris accounted for $6,600 of the $1 billion that her fellow Harris incinerated before losing to Donald Trump.
In July and August of this year, two contributions of $3,300 were made to the Harris campaign, while $330 was made to ActBlue – and I have no insight on why she only makes contributions in numbers beginning in 33.
This of course leads to an obvious question; can someone who heavily donated to the woman that encouraged the George Floyd riots of 2020 and then raised bail money for people who would go on to commit murders, and backed defunding the police, be trusted as a neutral source in a self-defense case that has become politically coded? To ask such a question answers it.
