In the first video, a prankster pours apparent gasoline (actually water) over the hoods of occupied cars, almost getting himself shot. In the second, a woman in a car at a gas station is confronted by

This interview could have been used to share Penny’s version of the confrontation with Neely–but Penny’s lawyers took a wiser path. Instead of laying out their explicit
