reporter: today, the prosecutor refiled original charges, asking that penney be held on $5,000 bail. >> i do not know how to feel. nothing has changed. i do not understand how they can refile charges. reporter: since the original charges were dismissed without prejudice, state law allows someone to be retried if a person is found competent. the judge ordered that penney be held on $25,000 bail. >> the fact that he remained crime free is admirable. whitey bolger was crying free while on the run. does that make him less dangerous? reporter: his brother says he just needs help. >> i do not think he will get the help he needs in jail.
