After having called more than 30 witnesses, the prosecution in the manslaughter trial of Daniel Penny, who is charged in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, rested its case Monday.
Penny put him in a chokehold that lasted about six minutes, prosecutors have said and evidence presented at trial has shown.
Penny’s attorneys have said he acted to protect himself and other subway riders from “a seething, psychotic” Neely.
Again and again, Harris answered that she believed the chokehold was the most probable cause of Neely’s death.
Harris testified Friday that she based her ruling on her autopsy findings, coupled with the video and the investigative information about it.
