yes. we were in frequent contact with the da s office. judge jeanine: how did you find out about the changes? well we were told that there was going to be a grand jury presentation, then that would take some time. then it was a very kind of deliberate process, not rushed. then suddenly, we got a call one night before danny was asked to surrender said he has to surrounder to the police department tomorrow. at that point, what do you mean? this was a la a long process, that said, just pick up the phone, and say danny police need you, he was there. the time they asked him to be there to start the process. it didn t seem to make and sense as to the sudden urgency, however that is the way in which they decided to proceed. judge jeanine: well you are waiting for a possible grand
to put themselves in harm s way and to react to a difficult situation, with the fear they will be judged later and possibly punished for what they tried to do to help. judge jeanine: and you know. you reference the legal defense fund, it is over 2 million why do you think that is so successful. i think it really struck a cord and i think that people understand what at risk. i would want to mention it has to do with danny, danny is a hero in his own right, his service, he stepped forward and put his own well being in jeopardy. but it is deeper, it goes to the very essence of what keeps us safe. each other. right, we have the police, right? we have the first responders. and we rely on them, we do, but reality is they can t be
this is say tragedy, no one is here to villainize mr. neely, but danny is coming to grips with this situation and the aftermath of it all. judge jeanine: we reached out to the neely family attorneys, they were not avalavaluable for ain t ter view. note available. coming up, who was the real jordan neely, an all-star panel joins me to expose his criminal past, including 42 arrests and what wentbu wrong. il helping them achieve financial freedom. we re providing greater access to investing, with low-cost options to help maximize savings. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.
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
unforeseeable for him to believe that the medical examiner report would have come back indicating it was a homicide. it was a bit shocking. but we have to really look at there, and i told danny, listen, medical examine reported things about the report. they did not release the report itself. there is a lot of unanswered questions if the report that has not yet been released to public or to his legal team. i think that public has a right to know what is in the report so we re not jumping to conclusions, we don t have tohave toxicology reports or other intervening while issues, we will be able to review that at some point. judge jeanine: afternoon the autopsy report, were you in communication with district attorney bragg s office?
