New York City Officials Under Fire for Handling of Jordan Neely Subway Tragedy
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is facing scrutiny as his office weighs whether to press charges in the killing of Jordan Neely, a homeless New Yorker who died after being put in a lethal chokehold by Daniel Penny, a former Marine. Bragg's prosecutorial decisions have been subject to constant scrutiny, and this case could have a pivotal impact on his career. Legal experts note that the complexities of the case could make it difficult for Bragg to bring charges, and there are members of his own party who say he is weakened when it comes to a re-election bid because of the persistent scrutiny of high-profile cases and what some observers call a novice approach to dealing with the press.
