A month after lawyers began laying out their case in Daniel Penny’s trialperaplay gaming, they started making their final arguments on Monday to the jury that will decide his fate.

Mr. Penny, a former Marine and Long Island native, was charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide after he put Jordan Neely in a chokehold for about six minutes in a subway car last year, killing him, prosecutors said.

Mr. Neely, 30, who was homeless and had struggled with his mental health for years, boarded an uptown F train on the afternoon of May 1, 2023, and began yelling, throwing his jacket on the floor and striding through the subway car, according to witnesses. As he approached other riders, he screamed that he was hungry, that he wanted to return to jail and that he did not care if he lived or died, they said.

Throughout the trial, lawyers for Mr. Penny, 26, told the jury that their client had stepped in to restrain Mr. Neely, concerned that he would hurt other passengers.

On Monday, his lawyer, Steven Raiser, said that the prosecution’s case against Mr. Penny was like “trying to force three large square pegs into one small round hole — it just didn’t work, despite their best efforts.”

“There was a rush to judgment based on something other than medical science,” Mr. Raiser said to the jury.
