Hi Joan,
Reginald Denny is not universally forgotten. It is not likely that a
misshapen head is the worst that Denny suffered. His meekness is most
likely interrupted by periods of rage as for most such cases of brain
damage. His injuries are permanent. The trial of Damian Williams was
another travesty as was the original trial of the cops. Some forget that
Briseno should never have been tried at all yet was tried twice. It's just
"the cops" that are discussed.
