Vice President Vance praised the hiring of Daniel Penny by Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm, following Penny's acquittal on a negligent homicide charge related to a subway chokehold incident. Penny, a Marine veteran, was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man, in New York City. The firm's general partner, David Ulevitch, highlighted Penny's courage and the firm's policy of evaluating individuals beyond their worst moments.
