"Controversy Surrounding Daniel Perry Case Continues"
TL;DR
Daniel Perry's attorney has filed a motion for a new trial after he was found guilty of murder for shooting and killing protester Garrett Foster in downtown Austin in July 2020. Perry and his attorney claim the shooting was in self-defense and the defense team attempted to introduce evidence to show Foster's motive, states of mind, and intent. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to expedite the review process of a pardon for Perry, but Travis County District Attorney José Garza has also requested an appointment with the board over the review process of a pardon for Perry.
