The prosecution and defense are preparing for closing arguments in the Daniel Penny trial as it comes to a close after a break for Thanksgiving.

A forensic pathologist disputes a New York City medical examiner’s determination that former Marine Daniel Penny killed another man by placing him in a chokehold on a subway train last year.

The defense has rested its case in the trial of Daniel Penny, the former Marine who held Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on the New York City subway last year, after four days of witness testimony.

The trial of Daniel Penny, the former Marine charged in the death of a menacing homeless man aboard a New York City subway car, is on hold until after the Thanksgiving holidays, with closing arguments in the case expected when proceedings resume in Manhattan on Dec.

Sanchez’s 911 call was one of several that prosecutors aired during their case against Daniel Penny, the former Marine who put homeless street artist Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway in May 2023. Later, Sanchez took cell phone video of first responders treating Neely, who appeared limp and non-responsive.

The medical examiner who ruled Jordan Neely's death was a homicide caused by Daniel Penny's chokehold insisted Friday she'd stand by the ruling.

It’s my medical opinion that there are no alternative reasonable explanations for Mr. Neely’s death,” the medical examiner, Dr. Cynthia Harris, told jurors Friday.

Daniel Penny chose not to testify and defense lawyers rested their case Friday at his trial in the death of an agitated man he choked on a subway train. Closing arguments are expected after Thanksgiving in the closely watched manslaughter case about the death of Jordan Neely,
