(New York, NY) — The lawyer for the former Marine charged with killing a homeless man on a New York subway says his client should be “celebrated” for his actions.
Attorney Thomas Kenniff made the comments Friday during a radio interview, and said Daniel Penney “put himself in harm’s way for the benefit of others.”
Jordan Neely lost consciousness after Penney placed him in a chokehold on a Manhattan subway earlier this month.
Penny is being charged with second-degree manslaughter.
