A Texas district attorney is seeking to overturn Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s pardon of Daniel Perry, a U.S. Army sergeant who was convicted of murdering a Black Lives Matter protester in 2020. Travis County District Attorney José Garza announced Tuesday that his office will file a writ of mandamus petition to the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals, arguing that Abbott overstepped his authority and meddled in the judicial process when he pardoned Perry last month.
Not 24 hours after Perry’s conviction, Abbott vowed to pardon him and directed the parole board — made up of members he appointed — to review the case. Last month, upon the urging of prominent conservative pundits, Abbott went through with the pardon. The Republican governor’s decision sparked a partisan firestorm.
