What can look like a rear naked choke might not actually be one. He was restrained for quite a long time and was struggling to where others piled on. He positively didn't have him in a blood choke the whole time. Was it because he failed to get it in place during the struggle or because he was just trying to restrain him? I don't know the answer to that. I've been restrained with that where my instructor's forearm was along my jaw, not on the carotid. If you were watching, you would swear it was a carotid choke. It wasn't, but it was damned uncomfortable, and I was restrained.
I just watched the video for the first time. For the first part he struggled long enough to think he was in a chin lock. It even looked like that during the part of the video where that was viewable. The restraint lasted too long after he quit struggling, but could Penney properly feel Neely go limp with the others involved? Did he feel them moving? We don't know.
A man died so it lasted too long, but it was probably not a properly applied choke for the length of the incident. Unfortunately, the jury won't be able to properly assess that either, but they will form a verdict.
