Daniel Penny raised a glass Monday with his attorneys to celebrate the not guilty verdict after leaving the courthouse.
Penny, 26, was spotted having a drink with his defense lawyers Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser at Stone Street Tavern in the Financial District hours after a jury acquitted him of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely.
The Marine veteran and Long Island native would have faced up to four years behind bars if convicted.
