Jury Selected for Daniel Penny Manslaughter Trial

The jury selection process is underway for two high-profile trials. In Tarrant County, Anthony Ryan Patterson faces 13 felony counts related to human trafficking and child sex crimes, with the potential for a life sentence if convicted. The jury pool has been narrowed from 150 to about 90 as voir dire continues, with significant discussions on evidence types, including outcry evidence from child victims. Meanwhile, in New York City, six jurors have been selected for Daniel Penny's trial, charged with manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely, who was placed in a chokehold during a subway incident. The jury will consider whether Penny acted recklessly when he restrained Neely, who was unarmed and reportedly threatened passengers. The trials highlight critical issues surrounding justice and accountability in cases involving severe crimes and public safety.
