As we noted at the top, Perry has not spoken to the media about the incident or the pardon until now. He told me that he's only speaking to the Daily Wire because he thinks Garza is unjustly prosecuting others for political reasons. Notably, Garza has indicted more than 20 Austin police officers for their actions during the violent 2020 BLM riots.
Perry specifically brought up the prosecution of Austin police officer Christopher Taylor. Taylor was convicted of deadly conduct back in October, and that case is highly controversial, too.

Taylor's defense attorney said online that he's never seen a more clear cut self-defense case involving an officer. And he posted during jury deliberations. And this is a quote. The jury must be improperly considering the other unproven allegations made by the same anti-police D.A.

Now, Perry is still facing one misdemeanor charge in connection to Foster's death, a deadly conduct charge that's punishable by up to one year behind bars. But he closed our interview by telling me that he feels he has nothing to lose by speaking out about Garza.
