A Manhattan jury has found Daniel Penny not guilty of criminal charges in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, an incident on a crowded subway that was captured on video and ignited intense debates about the city's mental health system and underground crime.
Jurors acquitted Penny of criminally negligent homicide, a charge that could have carried a prison sentence of up to four years, for Neely's death aboard an uptown F train in May 2023, according to The New York Post.
