It's because choking a man to death for acting threatening/crazy is beyond the measured response. Subduing Neely was one thing. Applying a choke hold after he passed out is another. Daniel Penny, being a former U.S. Marine, should have known what he was doing. Maybe he held it too long due to adrenaline. Details of the incident should come out during the trial.
