Travis County DA says he'll try to overturn Texas governor's pardon of convicted murderer
Travis County District Attorney José Garza said Tuesday that he'll ask Texas' top criminal court to overturn Gov. Greg Abbott's controversial pardon of a man convicted of murder in the 2020 shooting of a Black Lives Matter protester, the Texas Tribune reports. Last month, Abbott pardoned Daniel Perry after the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles recommended he take such an action. The Republican governor directed the board — which he appoints — to review the case the day after a Texas state judge last summer sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison for the killing.
