Army sergeant is CONVICTED of murdering AK-47-wielding Black Lives Matter protester by shooting him dead during July 2020 riots in wake of George Floyd murder
2023-04-08
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Daniel Perry, a 37-year-old Uber driver and Army sergeant, was driving through downtown Austin, Texas on the night of July 25, 2020

  • He ended up in the middle of a Black Lives Matter march and had an altercation with protester Garrett Foster, 28, who was carrying an AK-47

  • Perry shot Foster dead: Perry claimed it was self defense, but on Friday a jury found him guilty of murdering Foster

The jury deliberated 17 hours over two days to reach its decision, after an eight-day trial. He sobbed when the guilty verdict was read out, and hugged his attorney. Perry faces up to life in prison.

#7  In Texas, the Pardons and Paroles group has to recommend, and then the govenor can pardon. The Texas State Constitution was mostly written during reconstruction, and has every procedural roadblock possible.
