Jurors in Daniel Penny’s manslaughter trial informed the judge they were deadlocked on a verdict. Penny, a former Marine, is accused of using excessive force in a fatal chokehold on Jordan Neely, a Michael Jackson impersonator, during a 2023 NYC subway altercation. Defense claims Penny acted to protect passengers from perceived danger, while prosecutors argue his actions were reckless. The judge urged the jury to continue deliberating as the case, which has sparked national debate on self-defense and public safety, remains unresolved.
