Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) announced Tuesday he introduced a resolution to award Daniel Penny with the Congressional Gold Medal “for his heroism.”
Penny, a Marine veteran, was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely during a subway altercation last year, a New York City jury found on Monday.
Republicans praised the verdict as justice for a hero who saved lives.
“I’ve formally introduced a resolution to award Daniel Penny with the Congressional Gold Medal for his heroism,” Crane posted on X.
“Courage should always prevail over moral cowardice. Thankfully, our justice system got it right yesterday,” he added.
The resolution has five cosponsors: Reps. Wesley Hunt, Wesley (R-TX), Greg Steube (R-FL), Andrew Ogles (R-TN), Nicholas Langworthy (R-NY), and Tom McClintock (R-CA).
