Penny is charged with criminally negligent homicide following the death of Jordan Neely, a man with mental health issues who exhibited threatening behavior on a New York City subway in May 2023, leading to a fatal confrontation with Penny. On Friday, Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed a manslaughter charge against Penny after the jury was unable to reach a consensus on it. The case has sparked debate over whether Penny, a white former Marine, was justified in using a chokehold on Neely, who is black. Mickelson expressed gratitude towards Penny for his service and protection of passengers from what he described as &#8220;a violent and deranged individual.&#8221; He echoed sentiments from commentator Colin Rugg that praised Penny as an exemplary citizen willing to risk his own safety for others.
