A prominent New York City defense lawyer predicts Daniel Penny will take the witness stand in his own defense at his trial over the death of Jordan Neely.
Daniel Penny, the 26-year-old Marine veteran turned architecture student on trial for a chokehold that killed 30-year-old Jordan Neely on a subway car last year, will likely testify in his own defense at trial soon, according to a New York City defense lawyer who has handled similar cases.
He said, ‘I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet,’' one eyewitness told Fox News Digital last year. Lawyers for both sides have painted a scene for jurors about what happened on that subway car, he said. The prosecution is trying to convince them Penny went too far, recklessly or negligently causing Neely's death. The defense is trying to convince them his actions were justified and reasonable.
