Jury Selection Begins Monday in Daniel Penny Manslaughter Trial; Faces Up to 15 Years
Oct 20, 2024, 03:20 PM
Jury selection for the manslaughter trial of Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine veteran, is set to begin on Monday. Penny is charged with manslaughter and negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man whom Penny fatally choked on a New York City subway in May 2023. Witnesses reported that Neely had been acting erratically, shouting, and throwing objects before Penny restrained him. The trial is expected to last until around Christmas, and Penny could face up to 15 years in state prison if convicted. Jury selection could take two weeks. Penny has pleaded not guilty, and his defense team plans to argue that he acted to protect other passengers on the subway. The case will focus on Penny's state of mind, specifically whether he was reckless or negligent in his actions.
