Kid Rock among top donors to legal defense fund for accused subway choker Daniel Penny.

Kid Rock donated $5,000 to the legal defense fund for Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran charged with second-degree manslaughter after putting Jordan Neely in a chokehold on a Manhattan subway. Penny's legal fund on GiveSendGo has surpassed $2.3 million, with Kid Rock among the top donors. Penny has been hailed a hero by conservatives, but the Manhattan district attorney said Neely's death was a homicide. Neely was a local unhoused man known as a busker and Michael Jackson impersonator who had suffered from mental health issues.
