Daniel Penny's attorneys said they are confident he will be 'fully absolved of any wrongdoing.'
Penny has "his head held up high" and is dealing with the situation "with the sort of integrity and honor that is characteristic of who he is" and "of his honorable service," said his attorney Thomas Kenniff.
"He risked his own life and safety, for the good of his fellow passengers. The unfortunate result was the unintended and unforeseen death of Mr. Neely," Penny's attorneys said in a statement Thursday. Neely had been "acting erratically" before the incident but had not attacked anyone on the train before being put in the chokehold, a witness who recorded the encounter told CNN earlier this month.
CNN reached out Thursday to attorneys representing Neely's family for comment on the latest developments.
