From the Center
AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
The jury in Daniel Penny's case will continue deliberations on Monday after they had trouble coming to a verdict this week.
New York Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed the 26-year-old's manslaughter charge on Friday after the jury was deadlocked after nearly 20 hours of deliberations. This will allow them to focus on whether Penny is guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
The jury is tasked with determining whether Penny is guilty of killing Jordan Neely, 30, a homeless man, with a chokehold on a New York City subway in 2023.
