Gov. Greg Abbott Pardons Army Sergeant Daniel Perry
« on: May 17, 2024, 09:00:23 am »
Texas Scorecard by  Emily Medeiros May 16, 2024

Last year, Perry was sentenced to 25 years for the death of an armed Black Lives Matter protester.

Gov. Greg Abbott has fully pardoned Army Sgt. Daniel Perry following a unanimous recommendation from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Perry had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the shooting death of an armed Black Lives Matter protester, Garrett Foster.

In downtown Austin on July 25, 2020, Foster pointed an AK-47 at Perry while a group of BLM protesters surrounded his car and began to bang on it. Perry, stationed at Ford Hood and driving for Uber for extra income, says he honked his car horn at protesters blocking an intersection.

During Perry’s trial, his defense team stated that Foster raised a firearm at Perry, leading Perry to use his handgun in self-defense.

Good! Never should have been indicted in the first place.

Agree

Being pardoned is the good news, but the tragedy is he was convicted for  defending himself
