wasn't the only one hoping Republican Gov. Greg Abbott would pardon Daniel Perry, the Austin man convicted of murder for shooting a Black Lives Matter protester.
The letter goes on:"We collectively feel that for justice to be served, a full pardon and restoration of his firearm rights should be granted to Mr. Perry." "Had been at the trial, she would have known that Mr. Perry had a full and fair opportunity to argue the killing was in self-defense and that, after deliberate consideration, the jury did not find that it was in self-defense," Garza said.
Perry, who's white, was convicted in May 2023 and sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting armed protester Garrett Foster. Foster, who's also white, was open carrying a firearm as he marched with a group.
