"Judge Upholds Case Against Ex-Marine Daniel Penny in NYC Subway Chokehold Death"

A judge denied Daniel Penny's motion to dismiss his involuntary manslaughter case over the chokehold death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway car. The medical examiner attributed Neely's death to trauma to the neck and ruled it a homicide. Penny's attorneys argue that Neely was "insanely threatening" at the time of the incident, while prosecutors claim Penny maintained the chokehold on Neely's neck for six minutes after he stopped moving. Penny has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the trial is set to occur no earlier than the fall.
