"NYC Subway Manslaughter Trial Set for Marine Daniel Penny in Chokehold Death Case"

Lawlessness continues to plague NYC trains as off-duty NYPD officers arrest a slashing suspect, adding to a string of violent incidents including a subway conductor being slashed, a jilted lover pushing his ex-girlfriend in front of a car, and a belligerent shot in the head with his own gun. Marine vet Daniel Penny faces a manslaughter case for placing a man in a fatal chokehold, sparking concerns about the chilling effect on good Samaritans. The surge in subway crime has prompted Gov. Kathy Hochul to deploy National Guard troops and state police, but experts warn that the case against Penny is dissuading others from intervening, while calling for a long-term solution to address the root causes of subway lawlessness.
