Daniel Penny Walks Runway at 'Dressed to Kilt' After Acquittal

Daniel Penny, a former Marine acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, has made his runway debut at the 'Dressed to Kilt' fashion show in New York. The event, co-founded by Sean Connery and Geoffrey Scott Carroll, is the largest Scottish fashion show and supports veteran causes. Penny, introduced as a 'hero' during the event, walked to the tune of Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out for a Hero.' This appearance comes after his controversial acquittal, which followed an incident where Penny restrained Neely, who died of neck compression, on a subway. Penny's actions were defended by some as protective, though they sparked significant public debate. His presence at the show was framed as a tribute to his Marine service and aligned with the event's theme celebrating Scottish heritage and military values.
