Daniel Penny pleads not guilty in NY subway chokehold death case

Daniel Penny, a former US Marine, has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree manslaughter and negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man, whom Penny placed in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway train. The incident, captured on video, sparked protests and counter-demonstrations. Penny's lawyers argue that he was acting in self-defense and could not have known his actions would lead to Neely's death. If convicted, Penny faces up to 15 years in prison. The case will depend on whether Penny's conduct was excessive and whether there was an imminent harm posed to himself or others.
