Former Marine denies racial motivation in NYC killing

Daniel Penny, a former Marine charged with second-degree manslaughter in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a Black man, argued that the incident "had nothing to do with race." Penny and his attorneys have claimed that he acted in defense of himself and others on the subway, but witnesses have disputed this. Neely's death has sparked national outrage, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticizing the city's delay in charging Penny and conservatives offering their support for him.
