Former Marine Daniel Penny Found Not Guilty in NYC Subway Chokehold Death of Jordan Neely
Dec 9, 2024, 04:43 PM
A New York City jury has acquitted Daniel Penny, a former Marine, of criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with a history of mental illness. The verdict was delivered unanimously on Monday, December 9, 2024, after deliberations lasting over 20 hours. The manslaughter charge against Penny was dismissed on Friday after the jury deadlocked on that count. The incident occurred on May 1, 2023, on a New York City subway train, where Penny placed Neely in a chokehold after Neely reportedly began threatening passengers. The encounter was captured on bystander video, sparking weeks of public debate over public safety and vigilantism in the city. Penny will not face any further legal action in this case.
