Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Denies Challenge to Daniel Perry’s Pardon

Texas Scorecard by  Emily Medeiros June 28, 2024

Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza attempted to overturn Gov. Abbott’s pardon.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has denied the Travis County’s district attorney’s attempt to overturn Gov. Greg Abbott’s pardon of Lt. Sgt. Daniel Perry.

In 2023, Perry was convicted of murder after shooting and killing Garrett Foster, an armed Black Lives Matter protester, in downtown Austin during the 2020 riots. During his trial, Perry’s defense team stated that Foster raised a firearm at Perry, leading Perry to use his handgun in self-defense.

A Travis County jury gave a guilty verdict. Perry was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in prison. However, after an intensive investigation, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles recommended that Abbott grant Perry a full pardon and restore his Second Amendment rights. Shortly after the board’s decision, Abbott pardoned Perry.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
