> * Well, a guy recently chocked an erratic mentally ill homeless man to death on the subway was charged with second degree manslaughter only He and two others were subduing the homeless man to protect other passengers (there were five 911 calls), then tried to help the homeless man after he went unconscious. |

But I leave that with the NYPD, DA and jury. There is evidence few of us have seen or heard going in either direction which will be seen inside the courtroom.
However, it seems bizarre that he is ultimate charged with something, which sounds violent & scary "manslaughter in the second degree" that obviously did involve violence (choking & death) but ultimately under NYS law, it is not classified as a "violent felony".
This is what I mean between the difference of the logical & legal definition of violence, and how some bail reform supporters didn't understand what they were supporting.
