that stayed on the train. judge jeanine: daniel cooperated with police right after and went to the police station, why was he let go? well, i mean, we have remember it was a case of self-defense, police saw that and they did not arrest him, did not take him to the station, they asked him can you come down to the station, he was willing to do, that daniel wants to participate in this whatever investigation was going to be. he did, he went there with them, voluntarily and sat down with the police, danny has nothing to hide, he spoke with the police for as long as they wanted, they made a determination based on what he said and witnesses said, that there was no reason to rest him, and they said you are free to go, he left. judge jeanine: the autopsy came back within a day and a half. was daniel surprised by the results? yes. he had it was
