A United States Army sergeant was sentenced to 25 years in a Texas prison on Wednesday, May 10, for killing a man at a protest against police brutality in 2020, setting the stage for Gov. Greg Abbott to make good on a pledge to grant a pardon. Daniel Perry was found guilty last month of shooting to death 28-year-old Garrett Foster, a U.S. Air Force veteran, at a Black Lives Matter rally in Austin, Texas. The demonstration came months after the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, in Minneapolis.
