Texas Gov. Greg Abbott gave few pardons before rushing to clear Army officer who killed a protester
In issuing a full pardon to a former Army sergeant convicted of murder in the shooting death of an armed Black Lives Matter protestor, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pushed a limited executive power to its absolute limit to get a desired outcome in a politically charged case. Abbott's pardon this week of Daniel Perry, who killed Air Force veteran Garrett Foster at an Austin demonstration in 2020, satisfied prominent conservatives who had demanded Perry's release and outraged prosecutors and the victim's family. To critics, Abbott's rush to wipe away the conviction also raised questions about how a governor might try to overturn a jury's verdict in the future.
