Greg Abbott presses for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/texas-abbott-shooting-protest-army-murder-719c3ecf0d3247324dc077903eaf4a5d\">the chance to pardon the soldier.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sentencing for Daniel Perry is scheduled to last up to two days. State District Judge Clifford Brown, who presided over Perry\u2019s trial, last week&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/black-lives-matter-protest-shooting-conviction-texas-2fc7f72f652da43eabb27bd62ff4cc52\">denied his request for a new trial.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perry, who was working as a ride-share driver the night of the shooting, was convicted in April in the 2020 shooting of 28-year-old Garrett Foster, who was legally carrying an AK-47 rifle through downtown Austin during a summer of nationwide unrest over police killings and racial injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verdict prompted outrage from prominent conservatives including former Fox News star Tucker Carlson, who called the shooting an act of self-defense and criticized Abbott on the air after he didn\u2019t come on his show.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2023\/04\/16\/army-sergeant-convicted-of-murder-made-racist-remarks-violent-threats\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23097836093346.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Army sergeant convicted of murder made racist remarks, violent threats<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Unsealed evidence shows racist comments, threats of violence made by Army Sgt. Daniel Perry before killing of Austin protester.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abbott, a former judge who has not ruled out a 2024 presidential run,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/texas-governor-pardon-daniel-perry-fa7feeadf552fe01bd6394d13de4178d\">tweeted the next day<\/a>&nbsp;that \u201cTexas has one of the strongest \u2018Stand Your Ground\u2019 laws\u201d and that he looked forward to signing a pardon once a recommendation from the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles hits his desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board has already begun what legal experts say is a highly unusual and immediate review of the case on the orders of Abbott, who appointed the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor has not said publicly how he came to his conclusion. It is not clear when the parole board will reach a decision on Perry\u2019s case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perry served in the military for more than a decade and was stationed at Fort Hood, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) north of Austin. He had just dropped off a ride-share customer when he turned onto a street filled with protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perry said he was trying to get past the crowd blocking the street when Foster pointed a rifle at him. Perry said he&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tx-state-wire-texas-shootings-fd0da5128cb73176ec47959c6a46c5c9\">fired at Foster in self-defense.<\/a>&nbsp;Witnesses testified that they did not see Foster raise his weapon, and prosecutors argued that Perry could have driven away without shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the trial, the court unsealed dozens of pages of text messages and social media posts that showed Perry having hostile views toward Black Lives Matter protests. In a comment on Facebook a month before the shooting, Perry allegedly wrote, \u201cIt is official I am a racist because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sentencing hearing for Sgt.
