•Daniel Penny acquitted in NYC subway chokehold case over Jordan Neely's death
67% Informative
Daniel Penny was cleared of criminally negligent homicide in Jordan Neely’s death last year .
A more serious manslaughter charge was dismissed earlier in deliberations because the jury deadlocked on that count.
The case amplified many American fault lines, among them race, politics, crime, urban life, mental illness and homelessness.
A Marine Corps combat instructor testified that Penny misused a chokehold technique he'd been taught.
A defense pathologist said Neely died not from the chokehold but from the combined effects of K2 , schizophrenia, his struggle and restraint.
Defense lawyers contended Penny didn’t consistently apply enough pressure to kill Neely.
