BREAKING: White Marine Vet To Be Charged In Death of Jordan Neely

That all implies the State will enforce the laws in question, which in Manhattan, they are not.

The hold he used wasn't meant to be deadly anyway, so this is all moot.

If you have another law, post it.

It doesn't matter that he didn't intend to kill Neely. The fact that he killed him means he used deadly force.

Intent matters entirely in criminal law, unless it's a statutory violation.

He didn't intend to use deadly force.

Intent doesn't matter in terms of 2nd degree manslaughter. That law covers killing someone accidentally, which appears to be the case here.

What factors in now is not intent, but recklessness. I've read he may have held Neely for as long as 15 minutes in a choke hold. If that's even close to accurate, to me, that's recklessness.
 
Like that insurrectionist at the Capitol.
Here's you thug fat lady:

Letting him go as he was enraged would be more reckless.
 
Even if selective, an eyewitness account is first hand, not second hand.

we aren't getting the statements directly from the witnesses, just media reports of them.
 
a) that's supposition

b) his body went limp

c) the subway doors opened and Penny could have retreated

So everyone on the car has to retreat because some guy goes nuts?

What other city in the United States is home to ~9 million people? Clearly, there are aspects of NYC you just don't understand.
Oh I understand. I understand that it sucks.
