Former Marine Daniel Penny has been indicted on charges of criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway. The incident, which occurred on May 21st, involved Penny restraining Neely in a chokehold after Neely exhibited erratic behavior and made threats towards passengers. Penny maintains that he acted to protect fellow passengers, stating that Neely's actions caused fear among those present, including women and children. In an earlier interview, Penny described a chaotic scene where Neely, appearing to be under the influence of drugs, threw his jacket and repeatedly threatened to kill people and expressed a willingness to die or go to jail for life. The incident, captured partially on cellphone video, shows Penny holding Neely in a chokehold with the assistance of two other individuals. The city's medical examiner determined the cause of death to be compression of the neck, classifying it as a homicide. This incident has sparked significant public debate, with some condemning Penny's actions while others view him as having intervened to protect others in a dangerous situation. Protests have erupted across the city in response to the incident, impacting traffic and subway service. If convicted of second-degree manslaughter, Penny could face a prison sentence of five to fifteen years.
