To neutralize him.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Thirty seconds later, the train arrived at the next station and all the passengers left the train car, except two men who were helping Penny restrain Neely. The prosecutor said Penny hung onto Neely for 51 seconds after Neely&#8217;s body went limp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;By doing so, he pushed Mr. Neely to the point of no return,&#8221; Yoran said. &#8220;He left Mr. Neely lying on the floor unconscious and didn&#8217;t look back.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Penny has\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/daniel-penny-expected-court-chokehold-death-jordan-neely\/story?id=100334248\"><span class=\"s1 s2\">pleaded not guilty<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in Neely&#8217;s death. His attorneys have said Neely was &#8220;insanely threatening,&#8221; but Yoran said Penny&#8217;s actions were unnecessarily reckless because he continued the chokehold for 5 minutes and 53 seconds after the subway car was empty of passengers. &#8220;A grasp that never changed,&#8221; Yoran called it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The defendant did not intend to kill him. His initial intent was even laudable,&#8221; Yoran said. &#8220;But under the law, deadly physical force such as a chokehold is permitted only when it is absolutely necessary and for only as long as is absolutely necessary. And here, the defendant went way too far.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The prosecutor told jurors they would see video of the chokehold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;You will see Mr. Neely&#8217;s life being sucked out before your very eyes,&#8221; Yoran said, appearing to upset one of the jurors who grimaced and briefly shut his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">She also said jurors would see body camera video of Penny&#8217;s initial encounter with police, four and a half minutes after letting go of Neely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">When the officer asked Penny what happened, the prosecutor said Penny replied that Neely had been threatening. &#8220;Then he said, &#8216;I just put him out,'&#8221; Yoran told the jury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The defense is set to give its opening statement on Friday following a break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Protest audible from courtroom<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The sounds of a sidewalk protest over the death of Neely were audible in the 13th-floor courtroom ahead of opening statements. Protesters were heard calling Penny a &#8220;subway strangler.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Judge Max Wiley said he would instruct jurors to ignore &#8220;noise outside the courthouse.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Penny, in a slate blue suit, strode confidently into the courtroom and took his seat at the defense table ahead of opening statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The jury of seven women and five men, four of whom are people of color, will be asked to do something prosecutors concede is difficult: convict someone of an unintentional crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">To convict, prosecutors must prove Penny&#8217;s use of lethal force was unjustifiable and that Penny acted recklessly and consciously disregarded the substantial risk of putting Neely in the chokehold for so long. Prosecutors do not have to prove Penny intended to kill Neely, which defense attorneys have said Neely did not intend to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Wiley denied Penny&#8217;s bid to dismiss his involuntary manslaughter case in January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The trial\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/daniel-penny-set-stand-trial-death-jordan-neely\/story?id=113548282\"><span class=\"s1 s2\">is expected to last between four and six weeks<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s1\">, according to Wiley.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The case has fueled political narratives about urban crime and captivated a city in which the subway is indispensable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Differing accounts of the incident<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While there is no doubt that Penny&#8217;s actions led to Neely&#8217;s death on May 1, 2023, witness accounts differ regarding the events that led up to Penny applying the fatal chokehold, according to various sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Many witnesses reported that Neely, 30, who was homeless at the time of his death and was known to perform as a Michael Jackson impersonator, had expressed that he was homeless, hungry and thirsty, according to prosecutors. Most of the witnesses also recounted that Neely indicated a willingness to go to jail or prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Some\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/grand-jury-indicts-daniel-penny-chokehold-death-jordan\/story?id=100077897\"><span class=\"s1 s2\">witnesses also reported<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0that Neely threatened to hurt people on the train, while others did not report hearing those threats, according to police sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Additionally, some witnesses told police that Neely was yelling and harassing passengers on the train. However, others have said that while Neely had exhibited erratic behavior, he had not been threatening anyone in particular and had not become violent, according to police sources who spoke with ABC News following the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">According to prosecution court filings, some passengers on the train that day said they didn&#8217;t feel threatened. One said they weren&#8217;t &#8220;really worried about what was going on,&#8221; while another called it &#8220;like another day typically in New York. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m used to seeing. I wasn&#8217;t really looking at it if I was going to be threatened or anything to that nature, but it was a little different because, you know, you don&#8217;t really hear anybody saying anything like that.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Other passengers, however, described being fearful, according to court filings. One said they &#8220;have encountered many things, but nothing that put fear into me like that,&#8221; while another said Neely was making &#8220;half-lunge movements&#8221; and coming within a &#8220;half a foot of people.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Neely had a documented history of mental health issues and arrests, including alleged instances of disorderly conduct, fare evasion and assault, according to police sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Less than 30 seconds after Penny allegedly put Neely into a chokehold, the train arrived at the Broadway-Lafayette Station, according to court records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Passengers who had felt fearful on account of being trapped on the train were now free to exit the train. The defendant continued holding Mr. Neely around the neck,&#8221; said prosecutor Joshua Steinglass in a court filing objecting to Penny&#8217;s dismissal request.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">According to prosecutors, footage of the interaction, which began about two minutes after the incident started, captures Penny holding Neely in the chokehold for about four minutes and 57 seconds on a relatively empty train, with a couple of passengers nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Prosecutors said that about three minutes and 10 seconds into the video, Neely ceases all purposeful movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;After that moment, Mr. Neely&#8217;s movements are best described as &#8216;twitching and the kind of agonal movement that you see around death,'&#8221; prosecutors said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The case is expected to feature testimony of passengers who were aboard the subway at the time, as well as a roughly six-minute video of the chokehold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Jury to hear eyewitness statements<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Before opening statements on Friday, Wiley granted a defense request to allow some of the statements that eyewitnesses to the chokehold made to police that were captured on body-worn cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">One witness, a Ms. Rosario, was captured on body-worn camera 15 minutes after the incident aboard the F train.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I can see most of that statement coming in as an excited utterance,&#8221; Wiley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The judge declined to allow a part of her statement in which an officer is heard asking whether she thought Neely was on drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A Mr. Latimer is captured a minute later and Wiley said his statement is &#8220;well within the immediacy of the event&#8221; and could be admitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;This person displays emotion, excitement as he&#8217;s describing what happened. It&#8217;s narrative,&#8221; Wiley said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Most of the passengers who were aboard the train and who witnessed the event are expected to testify at trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Jury will see evidence that Neely did not have a weapon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The judge also previously ruled that the jury will see evidence that shows Neely was unarmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Penny&#8217;s defense had sought to preclude evidence or testimony about the lack of a weapon recovered from a search of Neely&#8217;s body but in a written opinion issued Thursday, Wiley said such evidence and testimony is relevant to the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;The fact that Mr. Neely was unarmed provides additional relevant information to aid the jury, namely, it clarifies what could have been perceived by someone in the defendant&#8217;s position,&#8221; Wiley wrote. &#8220;The possibility that a person in the defendant&#8217;s situation could have been reasonable in mistakenly believing that Mr. Neely had been armed is appropriate for consideration by the jury and well within their capability.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The defense worried that including evidence that Neely was unarmed could bolster sympathy for the victim but Wiley said it would help the jury decide whether Penny&#8217;s actions were justified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Penny&#8217;s lawyers and Neely&#8217;s family speak ahead of the trial<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Members of Neely&#8217;s family were seated with the spectators for opening statements Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;I loved Jordan. And I want justice for Jordan Neely. I want it today. I want justice for everybody and I want justice for Jordan Neely,&#8221; his uncle, Christopher Neely, said before entering court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney&#8217;s office are expected to concede that Neely may have seemed scary to some subway riders, but will argue Penny continued the chokehold well past the point where Neely stopped moving and posed any kind of threat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Penny&#8217;s attorneys have said that they were &#8220;saddened at the loss of human life,&#8221; but that Penny saw &#8220;a genuine threat and took action to protect the lives of others,&#8221; arguing that Neely was &#8220;insanely threatening&#8221; to passengers aboard the subway train.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While Penny&#8217;s defense will argue that he had no intent to kill Neely, prosecutor Steinglass has noted that the second-degree manslaughter charge only requires prosecutors to prove Penny acted recklessly, not intentionally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;We are confident that a jury, aware of Danny&#8217;s actions in putting aside his own safety to protect the lives of his fellow riders, will deliver a just verdict,&#8221; Penny&#8217;s lawyers, Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff, said earlier this year, after Penny&#8217;s request to dismiss the charge was denied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;This case is simple. Someone got on a train and was screaming so someone else choked them to death,&#8221; Neely family attorney Donte Mills said in a past statement to ABC News. &#8220;Those two things do not and will never balance. There is no justification.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Jordan had the right to take up his own space. He was allowed to be on that train and even to scream. He did not touch anyone. He was not a visitor on that train, in New York, or in this country,&#8221; Mills added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
