Texas governor moves to pardon Daniel Perry, who was convicted of shooting Garrett Foster during rally in 2020
: “I might have to kill a few people on my way to work they are rioting outside my apartment complex.” A few days later, Perry commented on a Facebook post of a video titled “Protesters Looters Get Shot San Antonio Texas”, writing, “glad someone finally did something”.
During the trial, Austin police detective William Bursley testified about evidence found on Perry’s cell phone. Part of the evidenceonline searches for “protest tonight”, “protesters in Seattle gets shot”, “riot shootouts” and “protests in Dallas live”. “This is an age-old story about a man who couldn’t keep his anger under control,” said prosecutor Guillermo Gonzalez, according to the“Garrett Foster had every right to go up to him and see what the heck was going on and he had every right to do it with a deadly weapon.”
Meanwhile, Perry’s attorney, Doug O’Connell, argued that the protesters “didn’t know anything about Perry when they attacked the car and boxed it in”.O’Connell’s argument has a key ally in Abbott, with the governor saying he would not allow jurors to nullify Texas’s self-defense law.
