Daniel Penny Found ‘Not Guilty’ in Chokehold Death of Jordan Neely on New York City Subway

Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old former marine, was acquitted in Jordan Neely’s death case on Monday, December 9. A New York City jury dismissed the second-degree manslaughter charge against Penny after jurors said they could not come to a unanimous decision. Penny, an architecture student, applied a chokehold on a homeless man with mental health issues for six minutes on an uptown F train in the New York subway last year. The incident, captured by fellow passengers, ignited a nationwide debate on public safety, heroism, and vigilantism. Witnesses reported that Neely had walked through the subway car that afternoon, yelling at passengers and causing fear among them. US: NYPD Officers Decline CPR for Homeless Black Man After Ex-Marine Put Him on Chokehold in Subway Amid Violent Outburst in Subway, Video Surfaces.
