More than a year after a jury convicted Daniel Perry of murdering a protester, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) pardoned the former U.S. Army sergeant on Thursday shortly after a parole board recommended a full pardon, the Texas Tribune reports.
A Texas state district court judge sentenced Perry in May 2023 to 25 years in prison for shooting and killing U.
S. Air Force veteran Garrett Foster during a 2020 demonstration protesting police brutality against people of color.
