"Controversial Legal Fund for Daniel Penny Raises Over $1 Million for Defense in Jordan Neely Case"

An online legal defense fund started by the attorneys for Daniel Penny, who was charged with second-degree manslaughter in the New York City subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely, has raised over $1 million for his legal defense. Penny was released on bail after turning himself in to the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The case sparked protests on the subway and calls for justice for Neely. The money raised will be used towards Penny's defense, and any excess will be donated to a mental health advocacy program in New York City.
