“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,” says Gov. Greg Abbott.
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has issued a full pardon of U.S. Army Sergeant Daniel Perry after he was sentenced to 25 years in prison last year for shooting and killing an armed BLM activist in downtown, Austin, Texas.
After the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole examined Perry’s case, it decided he deserved a full pardon and restoration of his Second Amendment rights.
Governor Abbott issued a statement about his signing off on the pardon.
“The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles conducted an exhaustive review of U.S. Army Sergeant Daniel Perry’s personal history and the facts surrounding the July 2020 incident and recommended a Full Pardon and Restoration of Full Civil Rights of Citizenship,” he wrote. “Among the voluminous files reviewed by the Board, they considered information provided by the Travis County District Attorney, the full investigative report on Daniel Perry, plus a review of all the testimony provided at trial. 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. I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.”
Last year, Infowars reported on Abbot launching an investigation into the trial and covered the lead detective in Perry’s case filing an affidavit that claimed Travis County District Attorney José Garza had him remove over 100 pages of exculpatory evidence that the grand jury never had an opportunity to see.
Could the Texas Parole Board’s decision signal a new way for states to fight back against far-left district attorneys across the country?
