Manhattan DA opposes introducing Neely's psychiatric history, amid Penny's defense citing Neely's K2 abuse for manslaughter trial set on Oct 21.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office is opposing the inclusion of Jordan Neely's psychiatric history in the upcoming trial of Daniel Penny, charged with manslaughter for Neely's death from a chokehold on a subway in May 2023. Penny's defense aims to use evidence of Neely's K2 abuse to argue he posed a threat. Prosecutors argue this is an attempt to "smear" Neely's character. Penny has pleaded not guilty, with the trial set for October 21.
