TL;DR

Former New York Governor David Paterson has defended Daniel Penny, a Marine who was charged with second-degree manslaughter in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. Paterson claimed that Penny did not commit a crime and should not have been charged. He also pointed out that Neely had a long history of mental illness and that Penny was trying to prevent danger to other people. Penny turned himself in on Friday and was later released on $100,000 bail. The case has polarized the city and the nation, with protesters branding Penny a murderer and calling for his arrest.
