The charge carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. His next court date is July 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The altercation took place on May 1 on a New York City subway train. Neely, who used to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@jordanneelylegacy\/videos\">perform&nbsp;<\/a>on subway platforms as a Michael Jackson impersonator, was shouting that he was hungry and thirsty and moments later, Penny put Neely in a chokehold for several minutes. Neely was pronounced dead that same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can tell you that the threats, the menacing, the terror that Jordan Neely introduced to that train has already been well documented,&#8221; Penny told the&nbsp;<em>Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penny added that Neely&#8217;s death was tragic and the real blame should be on &#8220;the system.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s tragic what happened to him. Hopefully, we can change the system that&#8217;s so desperately failed us,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penny went on to say that he felt no shame. When asked if he would do it again, he nodded and said, &#8220;I would \u2014 if there was a threat and danger in the present.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penny was arrested more than a week after the incident and after protests calling for him to be charged. Activists drew comparisons between Neely&#8217;s death, shown in a viral video, and the deaths of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mobilizationforjustice.org\/news-and-press\/press-releases\/mfj-statement-on-killing-of-jordan-neely\/#:~:text=There%20is%20no%20reason%20to,murder%20of%20George%20Floyd%2C%20Mr.\">Eric Garner<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/05\/18\/1099585400\/george-floyd-biography-book\">George Floyd<\/a>, who died at the hands of white police officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Penny repeatedly told the&nbsp;<em>New York Post<\/em>&nbsp;that race had nothing to do with the confrontation between him and Neely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I judge a person based on their character.
