"We Didn't Get No Justice": Jordan Neely's Uncle Slams Daniel Penny Acquittal in NYC Subway Killing

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-de... We speak with the uncle of Jordan Neely after a New York jury on Monday acquitted veteran Daniel Penny in the death of the beloved New York street performer on a Manhattan subway train last year. Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide. The judge dismissed a more serious manslaughter charge. Penny will not face any prison time for the killing. Neely was in the midst of a mental health crisis on May 1, 2023, when Penny attacked and held him in a chokehold for several minutes, even after Neely stopped moving. "That trial just was ridiculous," says Christopher Neely, who had tried to help his nephew and bring him home amid his mental health struggles. He says the family was already resigned to Penny not serving any prison time, but still wanted some measure of accountability at trial. "I was just hoping and praying that we would get some justice, but we didn't get no justice."
