Jury Dismisses Manslaughter Charge in Daniel Penny Subway Chokehold Case

A judge has dismissed the second-degree manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny after a jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. The jury will continue deliberating on a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man, on a New York City subway. The defense opposed the dismissal, fearing it could lead to a compromised verdict, and suggested a mistrial. The jury will reconvene on Monday to deliberate further.
