Daniel Penny Faces Manslaughter Charge in NYC Subway Chokehold Death

Daniel Penny, a former marine, pleaded not guilty in the case of choking Jordan Neely, a Black unhoused man, to death on a Manhattan subway car. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Neely's indictment, charging Penny with manslaughter in the second degree and criminally negligent homicide. The indictment reveals that Penny continued to choke Neely even after he passed out, which raises questions about self-defense and the use of excessive force.
