A doctor from the City chief medical examiner’s office said the likelihood Jordan Neely died from drug use or poor health — as Daniel Penny’s lawyers have proposed — was “vanishingly low” as the prosecution rested their manslaughter case against the former Marine Monday.

Medical examiner Cynthia Harris ruled Neely’s May 2023 death a homicide by compression of his neck, due to the chokehold Penny placed him in on the floor of an uptown F train. On Friday, she testified that the chokehold provided the only reasonable explanation for Neely’s death.

Jordan Neeley’s death was a direct result of the chokehold Daniel Penny held him in, a medical examiner testified Friday, rebutting assertions from the defense team that the former Marine did not apply enough pressure to kill the subway rider and that his death could have had some other cause.

The medical examiner who ruled Jordan Neely's death was a homicide caused by Daniel Penny's chokehold insisted Friday she'd stand by the ruling.

A subway commuter who helped an ex-Marine restrain an agitated man aboard a Manhattan subway last year testified that he tried to convince the veteran to loosen his grip around the man’s neck.

The man seen on video helping Daniel Penny restrain Jordan Neely on board the subway last year took the stand Tuesday on day five of witness testimony in Penny's trial.Penny has pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in Neely's chokehold death.

The trial of Daniel Penny, the former Marine charged with killing Jordan Neely aboard a New York City subway, featured testimony from a man who helped the defendant restrain the victim.
