Jury Deadlocked in Daniel Penny Manslaughter Trial Amid Lawsuit

The jury in Daniel Penny's trial for the manslaughter of Jordan Neely is deadlocked on the second-degree manslaughter charge, unable to reach a unanimous decision after over 18 hours of deliberation. Penny, a former Marine, is accused of killing Neely with a chokehold on a New York City subway. The jury has requested further instructions from Judge Maxwell Wiley, who is considering an Allen charge to encourage continued deliberation. Penny has pleaded not guilty to both manslaughter and negligent homicide charges.
