100 CENTRE STREET, 11/14 – In the Daniel Penny trial on November 14, his former martial arts training in the Marines, Joseph Caballer, was called by the prosecution as a witness. Inner City Press was there, thread.

  Caballer let it be known that the defense has contacted him, presumably asking for pro-Penny testimony. That he was a government witness implied he was critical of Penny or at least his chokehold technique. 

 And he was. But later on in direct, and on cross examination by Steven Raiser, Caballer acknowledged

that a person could hold on, if the application of pressure was stopped, and that he could not tell from the video if pressure was still being applied to Jordan Neely's neck.
