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
