When Daniel Penny intervened with troubled homeless man Jordan Neely, he "did for others what we would want someone to do for us," his lawyer Thomas Kenniff told jurors.
Kenniff described Neely as a raving lunatic who was terrifying passengers when he stepped onto a train and began ranting about serving prison time and threatening to take food and money from riders if they didn't fork it over.
When Neely eventually even threatened to kill, "there was only one thing that Daniel Penny could do," Kenniff said.
