Daniel Penny's Trial Continues Amid Controversy Over Subway Chokehold Death
The court hears conflicting testimonies as the defense and prosecution present their cases in the high-profile manslaughter trial.
- Subway passengers testified about Jordan Neely's erratic behavior before Daniel Penny intervened with a fatal chokehold.
- Defense attorneys argue that Penny acted in self-defense and to protect others from Neely, who they described as threatening.
- Prosecutors claim Penny's use of force was excessive, leading to Neely's death by neck compression, as ruled by the medical examiner.
- The judge denied a mistrial request from Penny's defense, who argued the trial was biased against him.
- Jurors will soon hear from additional witnesses, including a man who reportedly advised Penny to release Neely during the incident.
