TL;DR Summary
Unsealed documents from the case against Daniel Perry, who was convicted of fatally shooting a protester at a Black Lives Matter rally in Austin, show he made comments on social media about killing protesters and Muslims, and shared racist memes. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has requested a pardon for Perry, but the prosecutor and the family of the victim have criticized the move, and a deadly conduct charge is still pending. Perry's attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial, arguing that the defense team was not allowed to introduce evidence they believe showed the victim repeatedly instigated confrontations.
