If Penny is convicted of manslaughter, the more serious charge, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
Defense witness Dr. Satish Chundru, a forensic pathologist and consultant, testified Thursday that he did not believe Neely had died of a chokehold.
Much of the final day of witness testimony Friday was dedicated to Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran’s cross-examination of Chundru.
Joefield testified that Neely was unconscious and unresponsive when he arrived.
“I assumed that because he had a pulse that he was breathing,” Joefield testified.
