Breaking: Daniel Penny set to be arraigned June 28 in Jordan Neely's subway chokehold death
It comes after Penny was arrested for second-degree manslaughter last month. The 24-year-old Marine veteran was recorded holding Neely in a chokehold on an F train back on May 1. He was arrested 11 days later and is currently out on bond.
"Bottom line -- at some point Mr. Penny should have let go before Jordan died. There is no excuse for choking anyone for that long. Any reasonable person knows choking someone for that long will kill them."The fight is not over, but it took a lot of work to get to this place. The Neely family sends its sincerest thanks, especially to our courageous elected officials like AOC and others, every peaceful protester and all who still believe wrong actions should have consequences.
"The news of the indictment comes after Mr. Penny's recent publicly-released interview, in which he explained how Mr. Neely threatened to kill the men, women, and children on the subway car. Mr. Penny also explained that he never intended to kill Mr. Neely, only to hold him down until police arrived. The video was seen by tens of millions of people, with thousands of commenters describing Mr. Penny as a hero.
