Manslaughter should be an easy win.
The Defense will of course try to bring up Neely's past and paint him as a monster that needed to be stopped. That's fine and I don't even think the Prosecution should fight against the idea that the murderer was right to intervene. I think they should focus in on the fact that dude is supposed to be a trained marine, and should have known that choking someone for 15 minutes wasn't necessary to subdue them.
