Jordan Neeley’s death was a direct result of the chokehold Daniel Penny held him in, a medical examiner testified Friday, rebutting assertions from the defense team that the former Marine did not apply enough pressure to kill the subway rider and that his death could have had some other cause.

The medical examiner who conducted Jordan Neely’s autopsy testified Friday that the homeless man’s lone cause of death was from the chokehold applied by Daniel Penny, a former Marine on trial for manslaughter after he subdued a menacing Neely aboard a Manhattan subway train last year.

The medical examiner who ruled Jordan Neely's death was a homicide caused by Daniel Penny's chokehold insisted Friday she'd stand by the ruling.
