Daniel Penny is charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely .

Neely, a troubled street performer who was homeless, was moving erratically on a subway train.

Penny, 26 , has said he was protecting fellow subway riders and intended only to restrain him.

Prosecutors say Penny used far too much force for too long when he gripped Neely by the neck for about six minutes .
