Re: “Abbott, Leave Verdict Alone — Seeking pardon for convicted murderer undermines Texas’ judicial system and plays to social media mobs,” April 16 editorial. ...
Well said was the statement in this editorial that Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision is a “dangerous step away from justice.”
, but in this case that’s apparently not going to occur. Recently you published four letters opposing Gov. Greg Abbott’s proposed pardon of Sgt. Daniel Perry, and also an editorial in the same vein. I waited for two days, hoping that a letter or an editorial with an opposing viewpoint would be published.
After the new information came out about Daniel Perry, the convicted murderer of a Black Lives Matter protester, regarding his racist memes and social media messages, I am even more outraged by Gov. Greg Abbott’s quick decision to pardon him. It is clear from this pardon that our governor is not a leader but instead is a follower who cannot stand up to the pressure of Tucker Carlson and other far-right pundits. I certainly did not vote for Carlson to be running Texas.
Meanwhile the jury, a group of people empowered to make findings of fact and render a verdict, found Perry guilty of murder. While the rest of our country is worried about gun control and the availability of semi-automatic rifles, our governor plans to take our state another step into the Middle Ages.
