100 CENTRE STREET, Dec 5 – The day after the Daniel Penny trial evidence closed on November 22, a new book was published about the case, "Daniel Penny for Your Thoughts," e-book and audiobook on Amazon here.

Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee live streamed the NYPD's perp walk on Elizabeth Street in May 2023, through the trial in November. He obtained and included the autopsy, court records - and some reflections of his character Kurt Wheelock, previously reviewed in New York magazine. Now, in the courtroom during third day of jury deliberations and notes, from the thread:

Judge Wiley: We just got a note, We request that Judge Wiley read the definition of recklessness and negligence. And can we have them in writing. Do the parties give consent?

Jury exits. Judge Wiley: I'll get the jury instructions ready Penny's lawyer Kenniff: The entire instruction, right? Judge: Only on the two points they asked about. Do you consent? [Kenniff briefly whispers with Penny then says] OK

ADA Dafna Yoran: Are we taking lunch [break]? Judge: Yes
