The man charged with second-degree manslaughter after fatally choking a homeless man on a New York City subway train has spoken publicly about the incident for the first time.
Daniel Penny, who is white, toldThe New York Post that Jordan Neely’s death had “nothing to do with race” and everything to do with “a system that so desperately failed us”. Neely, a 30-year-old street performer who was experiencing homelessness, was Black.
