The potential criminal charges against a U.S. Marine veteran who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold aboard a New York City subway train might depend on whether a 'reasonable' New Yorker would have acted similarly.
The potential criminal charges against a U.S. Marine veteran who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold aboard a New York City subway train might depend on whether a "reasonable" New Yorker would have acted similarly.
Under New York's penal code, a person who uses deadly force must not only prove that they feared for their own life or someone else's, but that any reasonable person would have felt the same way. Neely's killing has set off an emotionally-charged debate in New York about compassion and mental illness.
The Manhattan district attorney's investigation is being led by Joshua Steinglass, one of the prosecutors who helped secure a conviction in a tax fraud case against the Trump Organization. "It's not like he's a villain," Signorelli said. "He did what he thought was right and what seemed reasonable to him. He's stepping up where most people turn away."
