pay taxes in the tune of $1 hundred thousand in 2017 and 2018. gary shapely claims the true number is almost 600,000 for 2017 and even more than that for 2018. he says the plea deal essentially lets hunter off the hook. there is still outstanding tax due owing above that 620,000 because of this deal they ll never recoup. the most substantive felony charges were left off the table, which would have been evasion, for 14, false return for 18 and 19. julie: he says his team was prevented from looking into things that could have led them to president biden. the president on the topic deny, deny and deny again. president biden: i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. i don t know what he was doing. i did not know he was on the board of that company. i have oaf never discussed my business or their business, my sons or daughters. i ve never discussed with my son or brother or anything else having to do with their businesses. julie: it shows hunte
to someone who could potentially have harmed many people on a subway train and trying to protect those riders clearly scared, which include the elderly. he is a hero in many places in many people s eyes. in this courtroom, he is a criminal accused one. great to be back with you. alvin bragg shouldn t be politicizing this and shouldn t be pandering to the family after an arraignment. he shouldn t be challenging daniel penny to look into the father s eyes. what this case is really about is the duty of us as human beings to step forward when other people are in harm s way. that s what this is about. for the last several years, julie, how many times have we seen videotapes of people being beaten up, injured, harmed by others and nobody steps up? penny steps up and now being charged with a crime. i have to tell you, julie, at the end of the day it will be
virtually impossible for bragg to get a guilty verdict on both these charges for two quick reasons. number one, we live in dangerous times. we just had a homeless person in l.a. last night in a pizza parlor walk in with a dog and knife trying to kill somebody in a pizza parlor. a teenage girl got murdered who got off a bus by a homeless person who stabbed her. you heard penny, you heard him. he is articulate and he is a former marine. he will testify and many jurors will view him as a hero. julie: the extra claim of criminally negligent homicide. that will be hard to prove. to prove any kind of intent that he intended to harm this person. he was reacting as self-defense. he held the guy, trying to held him for a couple of minutes, the minutes between two subway stops, not 15 like people originally claimed. there were people that feared for their lives.
he was defending not only himself but the entire train car. so how hard is it going to be for the prosecution to prove their case? so let s break it down. the harder charge to prove is actually the second degree manslaughter because that requires penny to have been acting in reckless disregard for a non-justifiable risk. bragg would have to prove penny knows that neely is choking to death and ready to die and just continues to hold his neck. there is no way he is ever going the prove that given the circumstances of neely getting on that subway and saying i ll kill people, i m ready to go to jail for life. the one where that he might have a chance at getting a hung jury maybe is the criminal negligent one is the lower charge. that s a class e felony. all that requires is carelessness that penny acted in
guilty of manslaughter. if they determine he did not know the risk of death he could be found guilty on the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. in a statement after court alvin bragg said the following, quote. daniel penny stands indicted for manslaughter after allegedly putting jordan neely in a deadly choke hold for several minutes until and after he stopped moving. i hope mr. neely s loved ones are on the path towards healing continuing to mourn the tragic lost. penny made the case he was a good samaritan acting in self-defense admitting he and other passengers were scared by the homeless man s verbal threats. here is penny s attorneys. daniel isn t the only one on trial. the right and duty to defend one another will be on trial, too. the reality is there is not a living, breathing soul in manhattan that has not experienced a variation of what not only mr. penny but the other
