Controversy Surrounding Daniel Penny's Involvement in Jordan Neely's Death.

The Manhattan district attorney's office faced several choices over how to charge Daniel Penny, the ex-Marine who choked Jordan Neely to death on a New York City subway car. Prosecutors waited to bring a felony complaint, giving investigators time to find and interview people who would bolster the case. Filing a felony complaint also helped prosecutors avoid the longer, less predictable process of letting a grand jury decide whether to charge Mr. Penny. The prosecutor handling Mr. Penny’s case is Joshua Steinglass, a longtime assistant district attorney who also led the prosecution of the Trump Organization.
