Marine veteran Daniel Penny's manslaughter trial took an unexpected turn as the defense team sought a mistrial following a comment made by the prosecution's witness, Dr. Cynthia Harris, regarding the word 'homicide.' The judge ordered the comment to be stricken but allowed other related testimony to stand.
Penny, 26, is facing charges in the death of 30-year-old Jordan Neely, with prosecutors alleging manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. The incident occurred when Neely exhibited erratic behavior on a subway car, prompting a confrontation.
