Matthew Lee case
In 2019, Dafna Yoran pushed for a reduced sentence for a black man named Matthew Lee, a 57-year-old man who killed an 87-year-old professor, Dr. Young Kun Kim, during an ATM robbery. Lee was charged with manslaughter instead of felony murder after agreeing to meet with the victim’s family and both parties consented to the outcome, reducing his potential sentence from 25 years to life to 10 years.
Daniel Penny case
On May 1, 2023, Jordan Neely, a former Michael Jackson impersonator, with 42 prior arrests between 2013 and 2021 including 4 for assault, boarded the subway train and began yelling, throwing his jacket on the floor, and striding through the car. Witnesses described him as erratic and threatening. Neely is reported to have specifically stated that he intended to kill someone on the train. Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran with no prior criminal records, intervened, putting Neely in a hold and holding him for several minutes, with the help of other passengers, until the train stopped.
Dafna Yoran served as prosecutor in the 2024 Daniel Penny case. Yoran sought a 15-year prison sentence for Penny. During the trial Dafna Yoran has continuously referred to Daniel Penny as “the White man”. Ultimately, Daniel Penny was acquitted and found not guilty of negligent homicide.
