re: Judge refuses to dismiss subway chokehold death case against Marine veteran Daniel Penny

in the May 1 death of Neely, a former Michael Jackson impersonator who was shouting and begging for money on the Manhattan train, according to witnesses.

Just your fact first, unbiased media, folks.

Fact that is apparently very important in this case: Neely was a “former” Michael Jackson impersonator

Fact that is not super important: What he was yelling/shouting at passengers

Such a noble profession

I’m not even a journalist and can rewrite it better for them


“in the May 1 death of Neely, a homeless man with an extensive criminal history including theft and assault, who was shouting death threats at passengers on the Manhattan train, according to witnesses”
