The family of the New York City subway rider who was choked to death wants prosecutors to go after the Marine vet who put Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold.
Jordan's family is also taking issue with how some are framing the incident. The NYPD says Neely appeared to be having a mental health episode, with some witnesses telling cops Jordan's behavior made them fearful.
Lennon insists that feeling alone doesn't justify putting someone in a chokehold for 15 minutes ... arguing Penny, and not Neely, is who subway riders should have feared.What's more, Lennon says Jordan clearly showed he was unarmed when he took off his jacket to reveal a short-sleeve shirt ... and he says Penny appears to have attacked from behind.
The last sentence is especially rich from an admin trying to cut the very services that could have helped him.
