Bodycam video shown in Daniel Penny trial shows medics trying to revive lifeless Jordan Neely

Jurors were shown bodycam footage of first responders trying to revive a lifeless Jordan Neely after Daniel Penny put the troubled homeless man in a chokehold.

“He’s not breathing,” one officer could be heard saying.

Medics could be seen in the video using different methods to try to bring Neely back, including chest compressions, CPR, a defibrillator machine and an injection of Narcan.

As the EMTs worked on Neely, a composed Penny could be seen calmly standing nearby chewing something that may have been gum.

The video was played during the testimony of the first trial witness, NYPD Officer Teodoro Tejada.

Tejada also searched Neely for weapons but only found a muffin in his jacket.

At one point during the video, Penny could also be heard telling officers he “put (Neely) down.”
