If Penny is convicted, he could face a total of 19 years behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>Neely was known for being a Michael Jackson impersonator who performed in Times Square. He was on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nypd-deploying-500-officers-patrol-subways-after-4-stabbings\/\" title=\"NYPD deploying 500 officers patrol subways after 4 stabbings\">subway train<\/a> in New York City when he began shouting that he had nothing to eat or drink and had nothing to live for on May 1.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from inside the train stated that Neely threw trash at other passengers but did not engage in any physical violence toward them. Passengers were visibly uncomfortable and attempted to move away from Neely.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Penny came up from behind Neely and placed Neely in a chokehold as two other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jordan-neely-death-nyc-chokehold-suspect-daniel-penny-pleads-not-guilty\/\" title=\"Daniel Penny, the suspect in the NYC chokehold case involving Jordan Neely's death, pleads not guilty.\">unidentified men helped<\/a> by restraining his arms and legs. Penny held Neely in the chokehold for several minutes before he became unresponsive.<\/p>\n<p>Medical personnel arrived on the scene and transported Neely to Lenox Health hospital in Greenwich Village, where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n<p>New York&#8217;s Office of Chief Medical Examiner released the cause of death a few days after the incident, stating he died from &#8220;compression of neck&#8221; or a &#8220;chokehold.&#8221; He ruled Neely&#8217;s death a homicide.<\/p>\n<h3>Defense Claims Innocence<\/h3>\n<p>Penny&#8217;s attorneys have continued to claim their client is innocent and his actions were &#8220;fully justified.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we respect the decision of the grand jury to move this case forward to trial, it should be noted that the standard of proof in a grand jury is very low and there has been no finding of wrongdoing,\u201d attorneys Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran, pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a New York homeless man.
