Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has pardoned Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for gunning down an Antifa militant, Garrett Foster, who brandished an AK47 at him while blocking the street during a BLM protest in the summer of 2020.
Perry was initially let off the hook, but Soros-backed Austin District Attorney José Garza chose to go ahead with the prosecution.
A day after a jury convicted Perry, Abbott ordered the parole board to review his case.
“Among the voluminous files reviewed by the Board, they considered information provided by the Travis County District Attorney, the full investigative report on Daniel Perry, plus a review of all the testimony provided at trial,” Abbott said in his statement pardoning Perry. “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.”
