Daniel Penny Faces New Civil Suit as Jury Deliberates in Subway Chokehold Case

Daniel Penny, a former Marine on trial for manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, is now facing a civil lawsuit from Neely's father. The lawsuit accuses Penny of negligent conduct, assault, and battery, seeking damages for Neely's death, which occurred after Penny placed him in a chokehold on a New York City subway. The medical examiner ruled the chokehold as the cause of death. Penny has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges, and the jury is currently deliberating.
