Daniel Penny is expected back in a New York City courtroom Wednesday as a judge weighs a dismissal motion in case over Jordan Neely's subway chokehold death.
"(Penny's) attorneys tried to get the judge to ignore the grand jury by throwing the charges out. It didn’t work," Mills said after Wednesday morning's ruling. "The criminal charges against Daniel Penny will move forward." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.
