On her Saturday MSNBC show, Katie Phang said that Daniel Penny was guilty of "murder" in the subway death of Daniel Neely. MSNBC legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Cynthia Alksne pushes back, saying the facts don't support a murder charge, and that second-degree manslaughter is the proper charge.  She says it's likely there will be a hung jury.

While it's performing a long overdue housecleaning, MSNBC should point its broom in Melissa Harris-Perry's direction and sweep her off the network for her anti-democratic, violence-advocating rant earlier this week at Cornell University.
