\nArmy Sgt. Daniel Perry<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve been watching the legal woes of Daniel Perry, an Army Sergeant with the 1st Cav, who shot and killed a masked, armed protestor during a BLM demonstration, and the overzealous County Attorney pursuing murder charges.<\/p>\n

His attorney said the soldier was working for a ride-sharing company at the time of the incident, and acted in self-defense after the protester pointed an AK-47 at him.<\/p>\n

Perry cooperated with the police, was initially taken into custody but later released.<\/p>\n

Army sergeant indicted for murder in 2020 Austin riot shooting pleads self-defense: police investigator agrees<\/h3>\n

Andrew Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Army sergeant faces life in prison for a shooting that happened at the height of the 2020 riots, and that he claims was in self-defense. The lead detective in the case ruled his actions were justifiable homicide. That detective has also accused the district attorney of illegal actions in a sworn statement.<\/p>\n

Violent protests, riots, and killings, in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement erupted across the country in the summer of 2020. Late one Saturday night over the course of that summer, Army Sergeant Daniel Perry turned a corner in Austin, Texas, and found himself surrounded by an angry mob of protesters sparking an encounter that left one man dead and has Perry facing life in prison.<\/p>\n

On the night of July 25, 2020, at about 9:15 p.m., authorities say Perry was driving for Uber to make some extra money in downtown Austin and encountered a group of Black Lives Matter protesters who lacked a permit for their protest. They were illegally clogging the intersection, as protesters had done around the city several times in the weeks prior. Video shows that as he made the turn that night protesters quickly surrounded Perry’s car and began pounding on it and throwing rocks at it.<\/p>\n

Roughly a year later, Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza brought the incident before a grand jury. Perry was indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges. Additionally, an investigation by a respected veteran detective of the Austin police force concluded the shooting was a justifiable homicide. That veteran detective, David Fugitt, was the lead detective on Perry’s case and also signed a sworn affidavit accusing Garza’s office of withholding evidence from the grand jury and of witness tampering.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet another activist District Attorney willing to destroy a man’s life for political gain. There is a school of thought that judges and prosecutors should not hold elected, political positions. Our system of justice is supposed to operate neutrally and objectively, not at the whims of voters.<\/p>\n
