It was a trumped-up charge, a disgrace to the courts, and an unnecessary media circus, but Daniel Penny, who was charged with second-degree murder and criminally negligent homicide for placing Jordan Neely in a chokehold after he threatened passengers on the New York City subway on May 1, 2023.

Mia covered the mayhem, which reached new heights from the activist crowds to the media—it was a massive circus. The majority of the jury was female, with four members being persons of color.
