Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran, has been released on $100,000 bail after being charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely, who died after being put in a chokehold on a subway train. Neely's family is calling for Penny to be charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors allege that Neely was making threats and scaring passengers before Penny approached him from behind and placed him in a chokehold.
