Read our privacy policy The acquittal of Daniel Penny on Monday for the 2023 choking death of Jordan Neely on a New York subway car is evidence of a “rigged” system, according to the deceased man’s father. Father of Jordan Neely has filed lawsuit against Daniel Penny after homicide acquittal over subway choking Monday’s ruling provoked a deeply divided response, the latest instance of the case playing into a deeply polarized debate around public safety and race. “Justice has been served for a U.S. Marine who bravely stepped up to protect fellow New Yorkers during a moment of danger.” Others, like city councilman Yusef Salaam, who was among the wrongfully convicted Central Park Five, called the verdict “a searing indictment” of “systemic failures.” “His killing underscores the urgent and overdue need for a complete overhaul in how we address mental health crises and homelessness,” Salaam said. “No one deserves to be choked to death,” she added, claiming it “would’ve been a different story” if Neely had choked someone like Penny.
