A grand jury in New York City has voted in favour of indicting former United States marine Daniel Penny for placing a man in a chokehold on a subway car, leading to his death.Wednesday’s indictment will allow the criminal case against Penny to move forward, as outrage continues to simmer over the May 1 killing of Jordan Neely, a local street performer with a history of homelessness and mental health issues.In a statement, New York Mayor Eric Adams applauded Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his work on the case. Bragg’s office filed a felony charge of second-degree manslaughter against Penny on May 12, amid intense public scrutiny and criticism over the delay in the marine’s arrest.
