TL;DR Summary

The death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man with a history of mental illness, on a New York City subway earlier this month has sparked outcry and protests. Neely was pronounced dead in a hospital after 24-year-old Daniel Penny, a former Marine, placed him in a chokehold. Penny and his attorneys have argued that he was acting in his own defense and that of other passengers, while the lawyers for Neely’s family have said Neely did not pose any threat to anyone. Penny has been charged with second-degree manslaughter and could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
