Judge dismisses manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny after jury deadlocks twice (The Independent)

A judge has dismissed the manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny over the death of a homeless man on a New York City subway after jurors deadlocked twice in one day.

Penny faced a charge of manslaughter in addition to criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, who Penny held in a chokehold for about six minutes on a New York City subway in 2023.

Earlier Friday the judge urged jurors to keep deliberating and read them an Allen charge — an instruction urging them to make every possible effort to reach a verdict.

Criminally negligent homicide carries punishments ranging from probation to up to four years in prison.
