| Mother, child hid behind stroller before deadly subway chokehold: court papers |
| 2023-10-10 |
| Brought to you by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg [FoxNews] Jordan Neely, 30, had long history of violent attacks on subway riders A mother and son hid behind a stroller and a high school student prayed as Jordan Neely yelled "someone is going to die today" before he was placed in a fatal chokehold inside a packed NYC subway train, new court papers revealed. A woman described the erratic homeless man's demeanor on May 1 as "sickening" and "satanic." She allegedly said she believed she "was going to die" as Neely approached her and called the confrontation "absolutely traumatizing." The details were disclosed publicly for the first time in a motion to dismiss the charges against Marine veteran Daniel Penny, who's accused of choking Neely to death in an effort to protect other passengers. The court papers cite testimony from more than a dozen witnesses who were called by prosecutors to testify before the grand jury that indicted Penny, 24, on one count each of second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. A campaign to raise money for Penny's legal defense on GiveSendGo has amassed over $2.9 million. Penny previously told Fox News Digital in an interview that he doesn't regret his actions, which have turned his life upside down and thrust him into the public spotlight. "If [Neely] had carried out his threats, he would have killed somebody," Penny said. If convicted, Penny faces five to 15 years in prison. A spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office declined to comment.
