“Funds are being raised to pay Mr. Penny’s legal fees incurred from any criminal charges filed.”
A fundraiser has been launched to support the legal defense of former Marine Daniel Penny, who may face criminal charges related to an incident that took place on May 1 involving Jordan Neely.
Jordan Neely was a 30-year-old homeless man, a repeat offender with over 40 prior arrests and severe mental illness issues. Neely died on May 1 after Penny, 24, had placed him into a chokehold after Neely had reportedly started behaving erratically and showing aggression towards other passengers. Footage from the day showed Penny placing Neely in a "recovery position" in an attempt to make sure he was okay.
