Daniel Penny's defense rests in manslaughter trial over subway chokehold death

Daniel Penny's defense team has rested its case in his manslaughter trial for the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway in May 2023. Penny, a former Marine, did not testify. Closing arguments are expected after Thanksgiving, with the jury set to begin deliberations. If convicted of manslaughter, Penny could face up to 15 years in prison. The trial featured conflicting expert testimonies about Neely's cause of death. The prosecution's medical examiner ruled it a homicide due to the chokehold, while the defense's expert attributed it to other health issues and substances in Neely's system.
