When Daniel Perry got convicted for Garrett Foster’s killing, he was sentenced to serve 25 years in prison. A few days letter, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, requested that the state parole board review Perry’s case for a possible pardon. The board ultimately voted unanimously in favor of the pardon. Abbott approved the pardon. One of the justifications that Abbott used for getting the pardon process rolling was preserving the state’s “Stand Your Ground” laws.<\/p>\n

Daniel Perry, a former US Army Sergeant, was found guilty last year of murdering protestor Garrett Foster in Austin in July 2020. Perry sentenced to 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested the state parole board investigate his case to discuss a possible pardon just days later – which led to a unanimous approval vote that was announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

In a statement after the vote was announced, Abbott cited Texas’ ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws, which allow people to use deadly force if they feel they are in imminent danger.<\/p>\n

‘Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,’ Abbott said.<\/p>\n

‘I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.’<\/p>\n

In its unanimous ruling recommending Perry’s pardon, the parole board said it ‘delved into the intricacies’ of his case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
