The man charged in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely is sharing what he says happened during the subway incident in May, saying that he “couldn’t sit still” as the homeless man was yelling in other people’s faces
"I was scared for me but I looked around and saw women and children, he was yelling in their faces and saying these threats. I couldn’t just sit still," he said."The three main threats [Neely] repeated over and over was, 'I’m gonna kill you,' 'I’m prepared to go to jail for life,' and 'I’m willing to die.'"
"Some people say I was trying to choke him to death, which is also not true. I was trying to restrain him, you can see in the video there’s a clear rise and fall of his chest, indicating he’s breathing," Penny said in the videos. A rally in support of the marine veteran accused in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely ended in arrests. Andrew Siff reports.
“I mean, it’s, it’s a little bit comical. Everybody who’s ever met me can tell you, I love all people, I love all cultures. You can tell by my past and all my travels and adventures around the world. I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before this happened.”and was released on $100,000 bond. He was ordered to surrender any passports and must ask the court's permission if he wants to leave the state. Penny is due back in court in July.
Donte Mills, another lawyer for Neely’s family, has disputed Penny’s version of events, saying the veteran “acted with indifference. He didn’t care about Jordan, he cared about himself. And we can’t let that stand.”
