Texas pardons US Army sergeant Daniel Perry who was convicted of murder
2024-05-17
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] …for shooting AK-47 wielding BLM protester during 2020 riot
  • Daniel Perry, a US Army Sergeant, has been pardoned by Texas Governor Abbott

  • He was sentenced to 25 years over the July 2020 murder of BLM protestor Garrett Foster in Austin

Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested the state parole board investigate his case to discuss a possible pardon just days later, which led to a unanimous approval vote that was announced Thursday.

In a statement after the vote was announced, Abbott cited Texas' 'Stand Your Ground' laws, which allow people to use deadly force if they feel they are in imminent danger.

'Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,' Abbott said.
The progressive DA in this case being Soros-backed Travis County District Attorney José Garza, who was elected in 2020. He quickly developed the habits of prosecuting some police officers and forcing others to perjure themselves in order to obtain his convictions.
'I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.'

To many, the conviction was a common example of a Soro's politically owned DA, and a demographically selected jury for a pre-determined conviction.

Seriously, how could any jury convict knowing that the attacking now dead POS, BLM protester was carrying and firing a AK-47 during a Large Massive looting /riot.
