Daniel Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, has been acquitted of homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, following an incident on a New York City subway. The acquittal comes after a jury could not reach a consensus on a more serious charge, resulting in a not guilty verdict for criminally negligent homicide. The case, which raised concerns over public safety, mental health, and race, has led to protests and public outcry, particularly from Neely’s family.
