"Controversial Self-Defense Cases Spark Pardon Debate in Texas"
TL;DR Summary
Army Sergeant Daniel Perry, who was convicted of killing a BLM protester, has requested a new trial, claiming that the protester was the "first aggressor" and that he acted in self-defense. Perry's defense team intends to show a video of the protester admitting to carrying an AK-47 to intimidate people who did not share his beliefs. Governor Greg Abbott plans to pardon Perry, and the Board of Pardons and Parole will look into overturning the verdict. Perry could spend the rest of his life in prison if the conviction is not overturned.
