Daniel Penny, the U.S. Marine who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on the NYC subway, surrendered to authorities for second-degree manslaughter on Friday. See potential bias and similarities in coverage from nypost, NBCNews, and PatchTweet:
. Neely was a 30-year-old homeless man with more than 40 arrests to his name, who reportedly suffered from mental health issues, and was a former street performer. Neely was “aggressively threatening” passengers, are confident their client would be absolved of any wrongdoing once all the facts come to light.
Neely’s family’s attorneys called the accusations of threats, “a character assassination and a clear example of why he believed he was entitled to take Jordan‘s life.”Outlets across the spectrum framed the story very differently. NBC News emphasized the 15-minute length of the chokehold and did not mention Neely’s prior arrests. It also called Penny a Marine veteran and did not mention his active status like New York Post did.
