A Manhattan Prosecutor Acknowledges Challenges in Convicting Former Marine in Subway Choking Case

In a high-profile case that has captured public attention, a Manhattan prosecutor admitted on Friday that convicting former Marine Daniel Penny of the manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide of mentally ill subway busker Jordan Neely may pose challenges.

Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran addressed a group of prospective jurors, acknowledging the complexity of the case. Yoran emphasized that the prosecution will not argue that Penny intended to kill Neely when he placed him in a chokehold for over six minutes on a crowded northbound F train.

Penny, 25, listened intently as Yoran explained that proving guilt in this case goes beyond a simple narrative of a “bad man doing a bad thing.”

The prosecutor highlighted the fact that Neely, who suffered from mental illness and had been acting erratically on the train, was initially the aggressor before Penny restrained him. Yoran emphasized that under the law, all life is considered equal, regardless of the circumstances.

During jury selection, potential panelists were questioned about their ability to remain impartial and focus on the legal aspects of the case. Yoran stressed the importance of separating personal opinions about the defendant from the evidence presented in court.

While no jurors have been selected yet, the process is ongoing, with Penny’s attorneys set to question potential jurors in the coming days. If convicted, Penny faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison for manslaughter.

The trial, expected to last six weeks, has garnered significant public interest and raises important questions about self-defense, mental illness, and the use of force in confrontational situations.
