Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office have announced they plan to bring criminal charges against a United States Marine veteran who placed a homeless subway passenger in a deadly chokehold, sparking widespread outrage.“We can confirm that Daniel Penny will be arrested on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree. We cannot provide any additional information until he has been arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court, which we expect to take place tomorrow,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement on Thursday.The announcement comes after the death of 30-year-old Jordan Neely on May 1 prompted a nationwide debate about violence against people experiencing homelessness, as well as the social services available to them.
