Family of Jordan Neely Criticizes Marine Veteran's Response to Subway Death Accusations

Attorneys for the family of Jordan Neely have criticized a statement from the firm representing Daniel Penny, who is accused of killing Neely using a fatal chokehold on a Manhattan subway one week ago. The incident has sparked debates, protests and vigils across New York and on the city’s subway platforms, demanding justice in the days after the fatal incident and stressing the failure of a system meant to support people like Neely. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the death of Jordan Neely should serve as a “wake-up call” for government officials to urgently respond to a growing mental health crisis.
