In Pennsylvania, a mother has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the brutal murders of her two young children. Lisa Snyder, now forty one, was convicted last month of first degree murder for the deaths of her eight year old son Connor and four year old daughter Brindley. The children were found hanging in the basement of their Albany Town chip home, about sixty miles northwest of Philadelphia in September of twenty nineteen. Both children were taken off life support just days after being discovered. During sentencing in Burke's County, Snyder remained emotionless, declining to speak in court. President Judge Teresa Johnson also imposed additional time for child endangerment and evidence tampering, bringing the total to more than seventeen years on top of the life sentences. The judge noted that Snyder showed no remorse throughout the trial. Snyder initially claimed that her son had been bullied and intended to take his own life, but investigators found no evidence supporting that claim. Authorities uncovered disturbing online searches by Snyder, including queries on suicide and how to kill someone. Additionally, she had watched episodes of a crime series titled I Almost Got Away with It. The coroner confirmed that both children died by hanging, ruling their deaths as homicide. While the defense argued that the case was based on speculation. The jury disagreed, convicting Snyder on all counts. The judge had earlier rejected a plea deal in which Snyder sought to plead no contest but mentally ill to third degree murder. In a case that has sparked national debate, former Marine Daniel Penny discharged from service in twenty twenty one. Is now facing serious criminal charges in connection with the death of Jordan Neely. We bring in Sidney Sumner of Crime Online for more.

Is now facing serious criminal charges in connection with the death of Jordan Neely. We bring in Sidney Sumner of Crime Online for more.

The incident occurred on a New York City subway, where witnesses reported that Jordan Neely, who had a history of drug addiction, mental illness, and homelessness, was shouting in demanding money from passengers. It was at that point that Daniel Penny, with the assistance of two other passengers, restrained Neely, placing him in a chokehold for over three minutes. Neely's body eventually went limp and he was later pronounced dead. The city's medical examiner ruled the death of homicide, citing compression of the neck as the Penny's defense team contends that the Long Island native never intended to kill Neely, arguing that Penny's actions were aimed at subduing him until authorities could arrive. According to Penny, Neely had been acting aggressively, reportedly shouting I'm going to kill you in expressing a readiness to die or face a life sentence in prison. In their defense strategy, Penny's attorneys have suggested that other factors may have contributed to Neely's death, including the presence of synthetic cannabinoids commonly known as K two, found in his system. They also argue that widely circulated video footage shows that Penny did not apply continuous pressure during the chokehold, claiming this contradicts the idea that he intended to render Neely unconscious or kill him. Meanwhile, prosecutors maintained that Penny's actions were both reckless and negligent, regardless of whether there was intent to kill.
