Representatives for the homeless man's family say Daniel J Penny's 'actions on the train, and now his words, show why he needs to be in prison'.
A Marine veteran felt"entitled" to kill Jordan Neely on a New York subway train and has expressed no remorse, the homeless man's family has said.
Video filmed by a freelance journalist and posted online showed Penny lying beneath Mr Neely, holding him in a headlock position for several minutes as he tried and failed to break free.There have been protests in New York since Mr Neely's death "Daniel Penny's press release is not an apology nor an expression of regret," said the family's lawyers, Donte Mills and Lennon Edwards.
Penny's lawyers said Mr Neely had long suffered from mental illness and had a documented history of violent and erratic behaviour.Jordan Neely is pictured before going to see the Michael Jackson movie, This is It, in Times Square in 2009
