(Editor’s note: This letter was submitted in response to civil rights attorney Cary London’s column “The Dilemma of Balancing Civil Rights & Criminal Defense: The Complex Case of Daniel Penny,” which the New York Law Journal published on May 19.)
With due respect to Cary London, I am amazed and dismayed by his erroneous assertion that “Penny’s actions were justified under our current law—given the circumstances.”
