A man who killed a homeless New York City subway passenger by placing him in a chokehold has been charged with manslaughter, as the death of Jordan Neely continues to draw condemnation and calls for better social services in the United States.
Daniel Penny, a former US Marine, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court to be arraigned on one count of second-degree manslaughter on Friday, just hours after turning himself in at a police station.
