Potential jurors in the Daniel Penny trial were asked about their subway use as jury selection continues.
As jury selection for the Daniel Penny trial entered its sixth day on Monday, potential jurors are being weeded out with a series of targeted questions.Penny, a 25-year-old former Marine, is facing charges of second-degree manslaughter and negligent homicide. He is accused of choking and killing 30-year-old Jordan Neely on a New York City subway in 2023. Neely, a well-known Michael Jackson impersonator, boarded the subway and reportedly began threatening people.
He said he was sitting near a woman on the subway when a man approached both of them and seemed upset that the woman was ignoring him. The potential juror said he exited the train as another man got up, seeming as though he was going to intervene.Another potential juror said he had not ridden the subway during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he 'heard of some criminal violence' there.
