"Terrified Witnesses Recall Subway Chokehold Horror in NYC Court"
Witnesses in the subway chokehold case involving Daniel Penny, who killed Jordan Neely in a subway car in May, have described their fears of death and violence. In a court filing seeking to dismiss the case, Penny's lawyers presented testimony from subway passengers who claimed that Penny was defending others when he placed Neely in a chokehold. The case has sparked political controversy, touching on issues such as subway violence, the vulnerability of homeless and mentally ill individuals, and race relations. Prosecutors will respond to the defense filing later this year.
