What is the central issue preventing a unanimous verdict in the Daniel Penny case, and what are the potential consequences of a mistrial?

A Manhattan jury is deadlocked on the second-degree manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny, who is accused of using a chokehold on Jordan Neely, resulting in Neely's death. The judge ordered continued deliberations, preventing consideration of the lesser charge until a manslaughter verdict is reached. A mistrial is possible if a unanimous decision isn't reached.
