Earlier this week, a Manhattan jury found ex-Marine Daniel Penny not guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Jordan Neely, a homeless man, on a subway cart. Defense attorney & CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman joins Elie Honig to break down the charges, verdict, and how issues like racism, poverty, and mental health came into play in the so-called “subway chokehold” trial.
