A defense lawyer asked jurors to put themselves in the shoes of frightened subway riders as closing arguments began Monday in the trial of a Marine veteran charged with choking an irate, homeless man to death after an outburst on a New York underground train.
Daniel Penny claims he acted in self-defense against threatening behavior when he put Jordan Neely in a chokehold on May 1, 2023. Penny has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
City medical examiners ruled the chokehold killed Neely. A pathologist hired by Penny’s defense contradicted that finding.
Prosecutors will have their chance to address the jury later.
LiveNOW's Andy Mac spoke about the first day of closing arguments with FOX 5 NY reporter Michelle Ross.
