Janelle Griffith is a national reporter for NBC News focusing on issues of race and policing.
Attorneys for Daniel Penny, who is standing trial on charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the May 2023 chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man on the New York City subway, rested their case Friday. The jury is expected to hear closing arguments and start deliberations after Thanksgiving. If Penny is convicted of manslaughter, the more serious charge, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
Chundru’s testimony was intended to refute the findings of New York City medical examiner Dr. Cynthia Harris, who performed Neely’s autopsy and ruled that Penny’s chokehold had killed him. She was a prosecution witness and testified over three days. “It’s my medical opinion that there are no alternative reasonable explanations for Mr. Neely’s death,” Harris told jurors a week ago.
