Texas soldier faces sentencing for fatal shooting at protest.

U.S. Army sergeant Daniel Perry, who was convicted of murder in the shooting death of an armed protester during a Black Lives Matter march in Texas, faces up to life in prison when his sentencing hearing begins. Governor Greg Abbott has pressed for the chance to pardon Perry, but the state district judge denied his request for a new trial. Perry claimed self-defense, but witnesses testified that they did not see the victim raise his weapon, and prosecutors argued that Perry could have driven away without shooting.
