Daniel Perry murder trial: Self-defense or murder?
TL;DR
The lead police investigator in the Daniel Perry murder case testified that he didn't arrest Perry the night he fatally shot Austin protester Garrett Foster because it could be argued that it was in self-defense. The final witness in the eight-day trial, David Fugitt, said he felt he needed to do more investigation. One of the key issues in the trial has been that there were no videos or photos taken immediately before Perry shot Foster. Perry faces up to life in prison if convicted.
