Ex-Marine Faces Manslaughter Charge for NYC Subway Choking Death

TL;DR Summary
Former US Marine Daniel Penny has been charged with manslaughter after killing a homeless man by putting him in a chokehold on a New York City subway. The incident was captured on video and drew national attention, with some calling it an example of "white vigilantism" against people of color. Penny's lawyers claim their client did not mean to kill the victim, but witnesses say the victim was complaining loudly about being hungry and saying he was ready to die when Penny restrained him. Penny has been released on $100,000 bond and is due back in court on July 17.
