Veteran cleared in NYC subway chokehold case
ai generated text
A verdict of not guilty was delivered to Daniel Penny in a case related to the death of Jordan Neely on a subway. The jury decided that Penny was not criminally negligent in his actions. Penny used a chokehold on Neely during a confrontation. The defense argued that Penny's actions were justified as he was attempting to protect fellow passengers. Penny faced charges of criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on the manslaughter charge, which was subsequently dismissed by the judge.
He's a hero who saved lives. That trial should've NEVER HAPPENED in the first place.

You're sitting much as you are now, in this tightly confined space. You have very little room to move and none to run.
There is no way to cure the legal error that we believe very strongly happened on Friday, and we are renewing our motion for a mistrial on the remaining count two.
You obviously cannot kill someone because they are crazy and ranting and looking menacing, no matter what it is that they are saying.
He just didn't realise that Jordan Neely too was a person whose life needed to be preserved.
I wasn't trying to injure him. I'm just trying to keep him from hurting anyone else. He's threatening people. That's what we learn in the Marine Corps.
