Daniel Penny's Legal Defense Fund Reaches Nearly $2 Million Amid Controversy.

A fundraiser for Daniel Penny, the former Marine charged with manslaughter in the death of homeless man Jordan Neely, has raised nearly $2 million. Penny's attorneys say the subway chokehold case has "struck a chord" with people across the country. Penny was charged with second-degree manslaughter for allegedly choking and killing Neely during a May 1 subway ride on an F train in Manhattan. Penny's attorneys have said he didn't intend to kill Neely and was merely trying to defend himself and fellow straphangers from a threatening homeless man. The city medical examiner ruled Neely's death a homicide due to "compression of neck (chokehold)."
