Closing Arguments Begin in Daniel Penny Trial Over May 2023 NYC Subway Chokehold Death
Dec 2, 2024, 03:54 PM
Closing arguments began on Monday in the trial of Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran charged with manslaughter and negligent homicide in the May 2023 death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man. The incident occurred on a New York City subway, where Penny allegedly restrained Neely in a chokehold following an outburst. Penny has pleaded not guilty, claiming his actions were intended to subdue Neely until police arrived, not to harm him. The case has drawn significant public attention, with protests and chants of 'Guilty!' greeting Penny outside the courthouse. The jury is expected to deliberate following the conclusion of arguments and instructions.
