Daniel Penny trial resumes as fellow Marine vet explains chokehold training on witness stand
Fox News
A Marine veteran and martial arts instructor who served alongside New York City subway chokehold suspect Daniel Penny takes the witness stand.
Prosecutors showed a picture of the subway chokehold and Cavaller said it looked like an attempted figure-four blood choke. However, Cavaller said Penny's arm "could be" putting pressure on Neely's trachea instead.
Under cross-examination from defense attorney Steven Raiser, Cavaller said he agreed that someone could be placed in a chokehold for more than 13 seconds and not lose consciousness if the person performing the hold wasn't applying pressure. He also said that while Marines are told not to apply a choke for longer than 5 seconds in training, that doesn't apply to the real world.
