When Daniel Penny wrapped his arm around the neck of a homeless man on a Manhattan subway last year, the 25-year-old veteran appeared to be deploying a non-lethal chokehold long drilled into U.S. Marines. Done right, the maneuver should knock a person out without killing them, according to Joseph Caballer, a combat instructor in the Marine Corps who trained Penny in several types of holds.

The tech consultant charged in Cash App founder Bob Lee 's stabbing death testified in his own defense Wednesday that he made a "bad joke" to try to put an end to a late night of drinking and doing drugs, and the famous entrepreneur suddenly attacked him.

Momeni said Lee pulled out a knife and attacked him, forcing him to defend himself.
