(CNN) — A Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran who held Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on the New York City subway, according to a source with knowledge of the case. Penny, 24, was indicted on second-degree manslaughter charges. The Manhattan District Attorney is expected to formally announce the grand jury’s indictment, which is under seal, on Thursday.Penny surrendered to police last month to face a second-degree manslaughter charge. He has since been out on a $100,000 bond. Penny held Neely, a homeless man and street artist, in a chokehold on the subway train May 1 after Neely began shouting at passengers that he was hungry and thirsty and didn’t care whether he died. Penny forced 30-year-old Neely to the train floor and restrained him in a chokehold until he stopped breathing. A medical examiner ruled Neely’s death a homicide. CNN has reached out to Penny’s attorneys and the attorneys representing Ne...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:18:43 GMT

The base is sticking with former President Donald Trump.Both fundraising and polling conducted after his indictment over his alleged mishandling of highly classified state secrets suggest support for the 45th president on the Republican side.“Since deranged Jack Smith took the unprecedented step of weaponizing the justice system to attack his political opponent, Donald J. Trump for President 2024 has raised more than $6.6 million in just a few short days,” his campaign declared Wednesday evening.That includes over $4.5 million from digital fundraising, with an additional $2.1 million from Trump’s event at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club Tuesday night.The former president was perhaps temporarily shocked into silence after his historic arrest and processing for 37 federal felony charges Tuesday. About 16 hours later Trump would echo his campaign’s fundraising assertions, thanking — one assumes sarcastically — the people he claims are behind the indictment...

When Clay Holmes endured a few rough outings early in the season, neither he nor his manager panicked.The Yankees reliever allowed seven earned runs over his first 10 innings while adding two losses and two blown saves. After commandeering the Yankees’ closing role last season, the stretch hardly met expectations. But Aaron Boone pointed out that a some of those appearances featured poor luck, and Holmes felt close to being the pitcher who earned his first All-Star nod with 29 straight scoreless outings last season.“I was giving up some runs, but deep down, there was still some confidence,” Holmes said Tuesday. “I knew kind of where I was at, and that things were kind of going to turn, so it’s one of those things where it is baseball. Just being a good evaluator of kind of where you’re at is big. And I think I’ve gotten better at that throughout the years. And I knew my sinker was close. I knew my delivery was close.
