Daniel Penny
Daniel Penny was charged with second-degree manslaughter for the killing of Jordan Neely in May.
Daniel Penny, 24, pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the May 1 death of Jordan Neely.
A grand jury reportedly indicted the 24-year-old Marine veteran in connection with the chokehold death of the Black street performer on a subway train.
Penny denied he had Neely in a chokehold, claiming he was restraining him to protect others. A medical examiner said Neely died as a result of a chokehold.
