The defense has concluded its case in the trial of a former Marine, Daniel Penny, who is facing charges related to a fatal chokehold incident on the New York City subway. The trial, which spanned four days of witness testimony, focused on the cause of death of Jordan Neely, the victim in this case.
Neely, a homeless New Yorker, tragically passed away in May 2023 following an encounter with Penny on the subway. The incident, which has sparked debate among city residents, raised questions about the circumstances under which a citizen may use lethal force against another.
