Two European eyewitnesses to the fatal altercation between Marine veteran Daniel Penny and Jordan Neely on a New York City subway have refused to cooperate with prosecutors, declining to share video footage or testify in court.
Two European eyewitnesses to the altercation that left Jordan Neely dead and New York City Marine infantry veteran Daniel Penny facing manslaughter charges have gone home and refused to cooperate with prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, according to a local report. Penny, 25, is scheduled to go to trial next month after he appeared on cellphone video placing Neely, 30, in a chokehold as other passengers helped restrain him in May 2023.
Critics of Bragg's decision to prosecute Penny have called the move political and believe that the veteran acted in self-defense and to protect other passengers. 'If had carried out his threats, he would have killed somebody,' Penny told Fox News Digital in June 2023. Another witness expressed similar concerns. 'I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will,' Neely had allegedly ranted. 'I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet.' Penny, who spoke with police voluntarily 11 days before Bragg's office brought charges, faces up to 19 years in prison if convicted. His next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 3.
