Controversy Surrounds Indictment of Daniel Penny in Jordan Neely's Chokehold Death
TL;DR
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman criticized the indictment of former Marine Daniel Penny in the choking death of panhandler Jordan Neely on a Manhattan subway train last month, saying there was "something rotten" about the prosecution. Penny claims he was defending himself and other straphangers from Neely's threats. The grand jury's indictment was required to enable prosecutors to bring the case to trial under New York law. Penny was set to be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on June 28 on the grand jury's charges.
