TL;DR Summary

A grand jury has indicted Daniel Penny, who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway train. Penny was initially charged with manslaughter last month, but the grand jury's approval of charges was needed for the case to continue. Neely was shouting at passengers and begging for money when Penny pinned him to the floor of the moving subway car with the help of two other riders. Penny then held Neely in a chokehold that lasted more than three minutes until his body went limp. Penny has said he was protecting himself and other passengers.
