Controversy Surrounding Marine's Chokehold on Jordan Neely on NYC Subway

The New York City subway rider accused of putting a homeless man in a chokehold, resulting in his death, was acting in self-defense to protect himself and other riders, according to his lawyers. The victim, Jordan Neely, had a history of violent and erratic behavior due to untreated mental illness, according to the accused's lawyers. The incident has sparked a national debate on vigilantism and the need to address homelessness, mental health, and violence on subways. The accused, a U.S. Marine veteran, has not been charged, but the case is expected to be presented to a grand jury.
