Amid promises from Texas’ governor to pardon an Army sergeant convicted of murdering a protester at Black Lives Matter rally, a judge rejected a request from the defendant’s legal team for a new murder trial. Daniel Perry, a White man, shot and killed Garrett Foster, who was also White, at a racial justice rally in Austin in July 2020 held in the wake of a national reckoning on policing in America following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
” Racist comments revealed Prior to the fatal shooting in 2020, documents in the case against Perry show he had a yearslong history of making racist comments in messages and social media posts, which were unsealed by a Travis County judge last month. In a Facebook message from May 2020, just weeks before the shooting, Perry told a friend he “might have to kill a few people” who were rioting outside his apartment.
