The city medical examiner later ruled his death a homicide, and said the troubled former street performer
died from “compression of the neck.”

Neely had a lengthy history of mental illness — and scores of run-ins with New York’s Finest.

After his death, his family blamed authorities for not making sure he got the care he needed. And they’ve
called for Penny to face murder charges.

Many people, including Rev. Al Sharpton, criticized authorities’ initial decision to release Penny in the wake of the killing.

“Iwas scared for myself but I looked around there was women and children, he was yelling in their faces saying these
threats. I just couldn’t sit still,” Penny said.

Penny is due back in court on July 17.

During a fiery eulogy last month , the Rev. Al Sharpton told a packed church that “when they choked
Jordan, they put their arms around all of us.”

Sharpton also criticized authorities’ initial decision to release Penny in the wake of the killing.
