Judge Wiley Dismisses Manslaughter Charge Against Daniel Penny After Jury Deadlock
Dec 6, 2024, 08:52 PM
Judge Maxwell Wiley has dismissed the manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny in the case involving Jordan Neely's death on a New York City subway. The dismissal came after the jury remained deadlocked on the second-degree manslaughter charge following a second notice and four days of deliberations. The prosecution requested the dismissal, which was granted over the defense's objection; the defense had hoped for an acquittal on that count. The jury will reconvene on Monday to consider the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide. Prosecutors are moving forward with this charge, and the trial continues as the defense and prosecution prepare for the next phase.
