Vice President-elect JD Vance has extended an invitation to Daniel Penny to attend the Army-Navy game on Saturday, where they will join President-elect Donald Trump in his suite, according to a source familiar with the situation.
A Manhattan jury recently acquitted Penny of criminally negligent homicide in the case involving the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway last year. Penny, a former Marine, had faced charges for fatally choking Neely earlier this year, which garnered significant attention from right-wing political figures who supported him throughout the legal proceedings.
Following the jury's decision, President-elect Trump weighed in on the case, describing it as a challenging one. Vance also expressed his support for Penny, stating that he believed justice had been served and that it was inappropriate for Penny to have been prosecuted in the first place.
The news of Vance's invitation to Penny was initially reported by NOTUS, highlighting the upcoming gathering at the Army-Navy game where the trio will be in attendance together.
