Well This Is Garbage--Prosecutor Tries To Reverse Pardon Of Daniel Perry

On May 17 I had linked to an article reporting on Texas Governor Abbot pardoning Daniel Perry of the murder conviction for killing a Black Lives Matter protestor that aimed a rifle at Perry. The article indicated that the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles conducted a review Perry’s personal history and the facts surrounding the July 2020 incident and recommended the full pardon. Nevertheless, last week Travis County district attorney José Garza announced that "his office intended to file a writ of mandamus asking the court of criminal appeals to reverse the 'unlawful' pardon on the grounds that a process to support an innocence finding wasn’t followed and that Abbott violated Texas’ separation of powers clause." 

    I'm no expert at Texas law, but this seems baseless and I can't see this going anywhere. Rather, I see it is an example of the vindictiveness of the Left and how they use and twist the law and the legal process to punish their enemies. And at taxpayer expense, of course.

  1. Here's hoping. And here's hoping Garza gets shown the door, but he's in a GloboLeft district, so probably not.
