>>Mr Penny’s lawyers suggested other factors besides the chokehold could be responsible for Mr Neely’s death, including a combination of his drug use, schizophrenia and sickle cell trait. They cited testimony from a forensic pathologist whom they called as an expert witness.
>>A medical examiner ruled that Mr Neely died from neck compression, a finding she maintained during the trial.
>>Mr Neely was a Michael Jackson impersonator who performed in Times Square and was known throughout the city from his performances.
>>He had dozens of previous arrests on charges such as evading fares, theft and assaults on three women.
>>Family members said his mental health issues began more than 15 years earlier, when his mother was strangled by her boyfriend.
>>Their testimony was divided, with some saying they felt threatened by Mr Neely’s erratic behaviour and others concerned over Mr Penny’s chokehold.
>>“I truly believed that I was going to die in that moment,” said Caedryn Schrunk, a witness on the New York F train that day.
