Daniel Penny's legal team is considering a malicious prosecution lawsuit following his trial: "Collusion present from the start."

Daniel Penny's defense team is considering a malicious prosecution lawsuit against District Attorney Alvin Bragg and others involved in the charges, shifting the focus after the high-profile case ended with an acquittal.

""As Danny mentioned in his interview, it seemed like they were trying to get him on something," Penny's defense attorney Steven Raiser stated on "Fox & Friends" after her acquittal."

"In order to get to the second count, they had to eliminate the top count, hoping to win, but they were unsuccessful, thank God."

Bragg's office was accused by the filing of colluding with the medical examiner's office, which blurred ethical lines in the case handling.

"The extent of his involvement and what happened here was made clear in the record," he stated. "Alvin Bragg, who is a member of the same political party as Mayor Adams, was appointed by him. There was collusion throughout the case, which began from the start and continued until the end. The district attorney required the medical examiner to act quickly, and he did so."

Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, died on a New York City subway after being put in a chokehold by Penny, who was subsequently charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

On Friday, the manslaughter charge was dropped at the prosecution's request because jurors were unable to reach a unanimous agreement twice. This paved the way for deliberations on the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide, which may be easier to prove, on Monday.

After a brief return to deliberations, jurors found Penny not guilty.

In a post-trial interview with Jeanine Pirro of Planet Chronicle, Penny stated that he had no regrets for his actions and felt compelled to protect Neely from harm, even if it meant hurting someone else.
