Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he intends to pardon Army Sergeant Daniel Perry, who was convicted on April 7 of the 2020 fatal shooting of armed Black Lives Matter protester, Garrett Foster. Abbott said the sergeant is protected by the Texas “Stand Your Ground” law, and has already requested the Board of Pardons and Paroles to determine if Perry should be pardoned. NTD spoke with attorney Emily Taylor, who said the move may be premature because Perry hasn’t yet been sentenced.
