The family of Jordan Neely on Monday said ex-Marine Daniel Penny felt “entitled” to put the homeless Neely in a fatal chokehold when the two shared a May 1 subway ride in New York City, according to the family’s lawyers.
Attorneys for the Neely family released a statement that took issue with the characterization of events presented by Mr. Penny’s lawyer, who put out their own statement last week.
The Neely family attorneys concluded by saying Mr. Penny’s actions last week and later his statement “show why he needs to be in prison.” They also asked Mayor Eric Adams to call the family. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office will decide whether to present a case to a grand jury this week, according to NBC News.
Police said Neely was yelling at passengers and throwing garbage at them when the ex-Marine eventually seized the homeless man in the chokehold. Mr. Penny was interviewed at the scene and released without charges.
