The killing drew national attention and sparked protests in May by those angered that police did not immediately arrest Daniel Penny, who is white, following the death of Neely, a Black man.
NEW YORK, USA – The former US Marine sergeant accused of fatally strangling Jordan Neely, a homeless man, in a chokehold in asubway car last month pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in court on Wednesday, June 28.
In a brief arraignment lasting only a few minutes, Penny, wearing a blue suit and red tie, pleaded not guilty in criminal court in lower Manhattan. The former Marine, who had been released on a $100,000 bond at an earlier hearing, was told to return to court on October 25 for a pretrial hearing. “There is not a living, breathing soul in Manhattan that has not experienced a variation of what not only Mr. Penny but other individuals experienced on that subway car,” Kenniff said.Some conservatives have hailed Penny as a hero, including Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and other prominent Republican politicians who are critical of New York’s Democratic leadership. Donors have given nearly $3 million to a legal defense fund for Penny through a crowdsourcing website.
