Why and how Jordan Neely "slipped through the cracks" is of interest and would probably be valuable in addressing additional similar situations which exist, but the most important question outstanding is how the NYC DA has reacted to Neely's death. Mr. Penny, at risk to himself, protected his community. For that he was charged. What the case of Jordan Neely demonstrates is the moral bankruptcy of New York's District Attorney's office. New York City and state were once renowned for the quality of their chief law enforcement officers; Louis Lefkowitz and Robert Morgenthau. Today we have clowns like Bragg.
