Andreessen Horowitz Hires Daniel Penny After Subway Chokehold Acquittal

Venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz has hired Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran who became a national figure after he used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider.

Penny was cleared of criminally negligent homicide last year following the death of Jordan Neely. The high-profile case spotlighted a debate over vigilantism and public safety.
