"Subway Chokehold Suspect Daniel Penny Returns to Court for Dismissal Hearing"

Daniel Penny, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, faces a court hearing in New York regarding the subway death of Jordan Neely, a Black man experiencing homelessness. The judge denied Penny's request to dismiss the case, which will now move forward and likely go to trial. Witnesses say Neely was acting erratically on the subway before Penny put him in a chokehold, leading to Neely's death. Both defense and prosecutors have presented conflicting witness accounts and arguments regarding the level of danger posed by Neely, with the defense claiming Penny did not intend to harm Neely and acted to prevent harm to other passengers.
