The jury must decide whether Daniel Penny is guilty of manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, which raises complex legal questions.
Manslaughter in the second degree requires proving Penny recklessly caused Neely's death, while criminally negligent homicide hinges on failing to recognize the risk.
The case has drawn significant public attention, highlighting debates around self-defense, accountability, and the treatment of homeless individuals in urban environments.
Penny, a 26-year-old Marine veteran, has pleaded not guilty, asserting his actions were justified in response to Neely's behavior on the subway.
