TL;DR Summary

A grand jury has indicted former U.S. Marine Daniel Penny in connection with the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard a subway train. Neely's death was ruled a homicide, and Penny was initially arrested on a second-degree manslaughter charge. Penny held Neely for several minutes, and at some point Neely stopped moving, but Penny continued to hold him for a period of time. Neely was homeless at the time of his death and had a documented mental health history. Penny's attorneys offered "condolences to those close to Mr. Neely" and claimed that Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel.
