"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.

Alec Baldwin Challenges 'Rust' Manslaughter Indictment, Alleges Prosecutorial Misconduct

Alec Baldwin's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss his manslaughter case, alleging prosecutorial misconduct and arguing that the indictment was obtained unfairly. They claim that prosecutors leaked information, failed to present exculpatory evidence, and gave a faulty jury instruction. Baldwin, indicted for the accidental shooting on the set of "Rust," is set to face trial on July 9. His defense team disputes the prosecution's handling of the case and plans to focus on the condition of the gun at the time of the shooting.

"SAG-AFTRA Stands by Alec Baldwin: Actor's Role Not to Be Firearms Expert"

SAG-AFTRA defended Alec Baldwin in the "Rust" manslaughter case, stating that actors are not responsible for firearms safety and that the industry assigns that duty to qualified professionals. The union's statement comes after Baldwin was indicted for involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The case also involves the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who faces separate charges. The prosecution will need to prove "criminal negligence" to establish involuntary manslaughter in either case. California passed a law setting training requirements for film armorers and codifying set safety standards for firearm use following the incident.
