On Andreessen Horowitz\u2019s website, Mr. Penny <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/a16z.com\/author\/daniel-penny\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">is listed<\/a> as a \u201cdeal partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Margit Wennmachers, a spokeswoman for the firm, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Thomas Kenniff, Mr. Penny\u2019s lawyer during the trial, said that he and his partner, Steven Raiser, were \u201cextremely happy\u201d about the news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe unjust prosecution not only put his liberty at jeopardy but also risked depriving society of a decent and talented young man,\u201d Mr. Kenniff said on Tuesday. \u201cAnd we know that he will be going on to do great things as he enters this next chapter of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Marc Andreessen, a co-founder of the firm, strongly supported President Trump in the last presidential election, saying that the Biden administration had been a hindrance on matters involving cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Speaking on the \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/marc-andreessen-on-ai-tech-censorship-648?hide_intro_popup=true\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Honestly With Bari Weiss<\/a>\u201d podcast in December, he said that he had spent about half of his time at Mar-a-Lago since Election Day, helping President Trump\u2019s team. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/23\/business\/dealbook\/silicon-valley-trump-administration.html\" title=\"\">Several members of his firm<\/a> have been part of the administration\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The hiring of Mr. Penny was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefp.com\/p\/exclusive-daniel-penny-hired-at-andreessen-horowitz\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">first reported<\/a> by The Free Press, of which Ms. Weiss is a founder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Penny\u2019s manslaughter case divided New Yorkers, as well as the nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He had been on an uptown F train on the afternoon of May 1 when Mr. Neely, who had struggled with his mental health for years, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/04\/nyregion\/daniel-penny-trial-subway-chokehold-case.html\" title=\"\">boarded the car<\/a>, approaching passengers and shouting about wanting to return to jail and not caring if he lived or died. Mr. Penny approached Mr. Neely from behind and put him in a chokehold, taking him to the floor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Penny told officers that he had acted to protect others on the train because he believed that Mr. Neely posed a threat and was poised to kill someone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A four-minute video recorded by a bystander quickly spread online, showing the men struggling on the floor of the subway train.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some people saw the confrontation as emblematic of a broken system that lets vulnerable people slip through the cracks. Mr. Neely had been on a list of people in New York City who stand out for the severity of their mental health troubles and their resistance to accepting help. Mr. Neely had also been arrested more than three dozen times \u2014 mostly for minor crimes like turnstile-jumping or trespassing, but at least four times on charges of punching people, two in the subway system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For others, what happened on that May afternoon was just the latest in a string of high-profile crimes in the city\u2019s subway system, many of which involved homeless and mentally ill people. The episode, they said, was a consequence of the city\u2019s inability to keep residents safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The case quickly became a staple on Fox News, and Mr. Penny was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/05\/14\/nyregion\/daniel-penny-jordan-neely-conservative.html\" title=\"\">praised as a hero by some conservatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In December, jurors deadlocked on the most serious charge Mr. Penny faced, manslaughter, and the charge was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/06\/nyregion\/daniel-penny-jordan-neely-chokehold-trial.html\" title=\"\">dismissed by the judge<\/a>. Jurors then considered criminally negligent homicide, and ultimately acquitted him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After the verdict, Republican figures including Vice President JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr. and former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani praised the jury and criticized the district attorney, Alvin Bragg, for pursuing the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThank God justice was done in this case,\u201d Mr. Vance <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JDVance\/status\/1866183954291622152\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said on social media at the time<\/a>. \u201cIt
