Straight-talking defense witness for Daniel Penny planted real, reasonable doubt about chokehold death
Harris was by far the most effective witness for the prosecution, which put forth a roster of bystanders, who said they’ve never experienced that type of terror on a subway when Neely, a homeless man with a history of drug use and mental illness boarded the uptown F train and started ranting that he was going to “kill.” One woman told the jury that she even thanked Penny for his actions that day.
