Williams' attorney likened his situation to Daniel Penny's, who was reportedly indicted Wednesday on a manslaughter charge related to the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, according to the Post.
"It’s upsetting to see that Mr. Williams is even being charged without a thorough investigation. We already know that the victim punched his girlfriend and menaced passengers,” Williams' lawyer, Jason Goldman told the Post.
