The Ohio resident said Neely should have been behind bars or in a mental institution and “not free to terrorize his fellow citizens.”
“You have an abandonment of the rule of law,” he told Fox News Digital. “Then someone who tries to assist and protect people, based on the current facts we have … is now being prosecuted. That represents a perversion of how the system is supposed to work.”Penny attorney Steve Raiser appeared for his first interview on Fox News this week.
“He was fearful for the safety of those passengers,” Raiser said. “So when he acted, his mindset was to keep his fellow passengers safe from attack. Neely entering the train and acting in a very violent manner, both physically and with words. He would say things to the effect that, you know, I need certain things, I need food, I need this or that. And if I don’t get it, I don’t care if I go to prison for the rest of my life. And the passengers actually have said that they interpreted that to mean, well, when would you go to prison for the rest of your life if you kill somebody? So everybody got the message.”
Neely reportedly started swinging his arms at passengers.
