Florida Father Arrested for Choking 2-Month-Old Daughter with Baby Wipe

A father in Indian River County, Florida, has been arrested in connection with the choking death of his 2-month-old daughter two years ago. Joseph Napier was charged with manslaughter after investigators determined that he had placed a baby wipe deep in the infant's throat, causing an airway obstruction. The father claimed that his 18-month-old daughter had placed the wipe in the baby's mouth, but forensic evidence disproved this. The arrest brings closure to the family, but the grandfather hopes that sharing the story will prevent similar tragedies in the future.

Controversy Surrounds Indictment of Daniel Penny in Jordan Neely's Chokehold Death

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman criticized the indictment of former Marine Daniel Penny in the choking death of panhandler Jordan Neely on a Manhattan subway train last month, saying there was "something rotten" about the prosecution. Penny claims he was defending himself and other straphangers from Neely's threats. The grand jury's indictment was required to enable prosecutors to bring the case to trial under New York law. Penny was set to be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on June 28 on the grand jury's charges.
