Following the shooting incident, New York prosecutors requested the juvenile be held without bail, but Acting Bronx Supreme Court Justice Denis Boyle — who was selected to the post by Chief Administrative Judge Jonathan Lippman, an appointee of former Democratic New York Governor Eliot Spitzer — declined the recommendation, the New York Post reported.

Officer Pennant has since recovered from the shooting and was released from St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was greeted by the applause of his colleagues and hospital staff.
