The man accused in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely is set to face a judge again on Wednesday, this time to learn the charges from a grand jury indictment issued earlier this month.
Neely’s death prompted protests by many who saw it as an example of racial injustice, setting off a debate about vigilantism and public safety in New York City. Several commentators, including Rev. Al Sharpton, compared the chokehold death to the Bernhard Goetz case in 1984, in which a white gunman shot four Black men on a subway train.
The attorneys, Steven Raiser and Thomas Keniff, have said they were confident that a trial jury would find Penny's actions on the train justified. In a statement, attorneys for the Neely family — Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards — said the grand jury’s decisions “tells our city and our nation that ‘no one is above the law’ no matter how much money they raise, no matter what affiliations they claim, and no matter what distorted stories they tell.”
