TL;DR Summary

US Marine veteran Daniel Penny is expected to surrender to police and face a felony manslaughter charge for holding homeless street artist Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York subway train earlier this month. Neely had been "acting erratically" before the incident but had not attacked anyone on the train before being put in the chokehold. Neely's death has ignited protests while refocusing attention on struggles with homelessness and mental illness across America. Penny's attorneys said they are confident he will be "fully absolved of any wrongdoing."
