Jurors have seen video of Daniel Penny gripping a man around the neck on a New York City subway train as another passenger beseeched the Marine veteran to let go. Two videos were shown in court Monday at the manslaughter trial surrounding Jordan Neely’s 2023 death. The videos were shot by bystanders, one a high school student, the other a freelance journalist. One video shows Neely reaching out and tapping a bystander on the leg while in the chokehold. The images offered the anonymous jury its first direct view of the chokehold at the heart of the manslaughter trial surrounding Jordan Neely’s 2023 death. Penny has pleaded not guilty. He claims self-defense.
