TL;DR Summary

Marine veteran Daniel Penny's defense team has rested their case in his manslaughter trial without calling him to testify. Penny is charged in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man, after placing him in a chokehold on a New York subway. The defense argues Penny acted in self-defense to protect passengers from Neely, who they claim was threatening. A medical expert testified that Neely's death was due to multiple factors, not solely the chokehold. Closing statements are set for December 2, and Penny faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
