Daniel Penny said he couldn’t recall exactly how long he’d held onto Jordan Neely. He said he let go once two other men began to hold onto Neely’s arms and confirmed that they had him. But cellphone footage recorded by another subway rider shows Penny continuing to restrain Neely after two other men stepped in to help him.
Penny said Neely was still moving when Neely rolled out from underneath him. The cellphone video shows Neely lying limp on the subway floor by the time Penny stands up.”
Medical examiner Dr. Cynthia Harris testified that Neely “died from compression of neck (chokehold).” It was her “medical opinion that there [were] no alternative reasonable explanations for Mr. Neely’s death.”
“The defense contention that Neely died from something else was “so improbable–that it stands shoulder to shoulder with impossibility.”
