A judge has denied requests from attorneys for Daniel Penny that the charges against him be dismissed.
You may recall that Penny restrained Jordan Neely for threatening people on a New York City subway train and Neely died shortly after. Of course, Penny was just trying to keep Neely from harming people on the train and he did not act alone. Others helped to restrain Neely.
Penny was hailed as a hero by people who were riding the train and felt threatened by Neely.
The worst thing about this case, besides the injustice, is that people are not going to intervene to help others nearly as much in the future.
