Daniel Perry to be sentenced for murder of BLM protester.

Daniel Perry, a US Army sergeant, is set to be sentenced for the murder of Garrett Foster, a protester at a Black Lives Matter rally in Austin. Perry's legal team argued self-defense, while prosecutors claimed he initiated the encounter and shot Foster. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has requested a pardon for Perry, citing the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. Unsealed documents show Perry had a history of making racist comments and advocating violence. The Board of Pardons and Paroles will review the case and make recommendations to the governor.
