Daniel Penny pleads not guilty to manslaughter in subway chokehold death

Daniel Penny pleaded not guilty to charges of criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a subway in SoHo. Penny, a 24-year-old Marine veteran, was seen on video holding Neely in a chokehold on an F train back on May 1. His lawyers argue that Penny was acting in self-defense and never intended to kill Neely. If convicted, Penny faces up to 19 years in prison. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 25.
