TL;DR Summary

Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine, will not testify in his trial for manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide after placing Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway. Penny's defense argues that other factors contributed to Neely's death, while prosecutors claim Penny's actions were unjustified. The jury will deliberate after Thanksgiving, relying on witness testimonies and Penny's statements to police, as he did not take the stand. The case hinges on whether Penny's actions were reasonable or reckless.
