NEW YORK CITY—As defense testimony continued in the trial of former Marine Daniel Penny, forensic pathologist Dr. Satish Chundru was called to the witness stand to provide expert testimony on the cause of Jordan Neely’s death on May 1, 2023, on a New York subway.
Chundru explicitly contradicted the testimony of New York City medical examiner Cynthia Harris, who last week stated under oath that it was Penny’s chokehold and not the powerful synthetic cannabinoids she found in Neely’s system during a postmortem examination that was the cause of his death.
