H4H 23: Jordan Neely died for want of a conservatorship

This week on the pod we discussed what Finding Jordan Neely tells us about homelessness and conservatorship. In May 2023 ex-Marine Daniel Penny put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a NYC subway car. The article details Neely’s path from a rough childhood to becoming known around New York as a Michael Jackon impersonator. It chronicles his years-long struggle with drug addiction and severe mental illness, which were exacerbated by stints of homelessness and incarceration. Neely was a known danger to himself and others and had a warrant out for his arrest at the time of his death.
