harsh enough. but penny s lawyer that he should not be punished for putting himself in harms way to protect others. what is a safe was behaving erratically yelling and ranting at subway writers. if you look at some of these recent events in the country whether it is the mass shootings or stabbings or people with patches in new york city, when somebody comes in and says i don t care if i go to jail i do not care if i get shot i m going to kill somebody, you have to take that seriously. i can very much see a marine saying let me be proactive instead of waiting and then regretting i didn t diffuse this report escalated. bryan: cb cotton is live in new york with the very latest. good afternoon. attorneys for daniel penny are now saying we should all expect more in this case presumably evidence which they feel will exonerate their clients. this new insight into pennies and defense being shared by his attorney thomas on friday night during wabc radio show katz and cosby. the atto
the latest developments. hello, cb. mike, good afternoon. the legal team is calling for upgraded charges and attorneys for penny say the mounting defense will exonerate their client. this insight shared last night by penny s attorney thomas kenneth during wabc radio show katz and cosby. and the attorneys say, quote, they were led to believe this case was head today a grand jury and caught off guard when d.a. decided to arrest him on manslaughter, a penalty up to 15 years in prison. he was released on a $100,000 bond. some legal crit exsay this process has been political. if they re not going to arrest him on the scene with a political complaint, and wait and there s a gap. they ll go to the grand jury and come back with indictment. they didn t here, which leads me to believe the decision to charge him on a complaint was something driven by politics and not by the best interest of the criminal system. he s saying his firm has retired n.y.p.d. detectives investigating and
weather. he was expected to trot out his own endorsements during that event. alexis mcadams is live in sioux city, iowa force. good evening from iowa but this is a redid expect to see former president donald trump headline with they said was going to be a big rally that was sold out with thousands of people bring medicine one of the case but we did catch up with florida governor desantis. i had a chance to talk with him about what he says is a mess right now from the white house. specifically our southern border, watch. anything you want to say about the southern border what you re skiing out there? it is a disaster. it is a man made disaster that policies pretty obvious they re going to continue to about things happens because they re not going to change. the border should just be shut down. that is what you do. if this were like world war ii era they would ve shut this down in 48 hours. it s a country this not getting things done anymore and that something we are goin
