Daniel Penny greeted with chants of 'Guilty!' as closing arguments begin in Jordan Neely chokehold case

Daniel Penny, charged with second-degree manslaughter over Jordan Neely's death, faces a jury after emotional protests outside the courtroom demanding justice.

Prosecutors contend that Daniel Penny's actions amount to recklessness, arguing he kept Neely in a chokehold for an excessive duration, leading to his eventual death.

Despite the outcry and protests, Penny's defense asserts that his actions were justified, raising reasonable doubt about the cause of Neely's death.

The outcome of the trial is uncertain, with Penny potentially facing a lengthy prison sentence or even a non-jail penalty depending on the jury's decision.
