Sure. Perry, who was then 30 years old, was stationed outside of Austin, Texas in 2020, and he was working as an Uber driver for some extra cash. On July 25th, after he dropped off a passenger, he found himself in the midst of a Black Lives Matter protest where at least two protesters were armed.

We'll hear from Perry in his own words about that incident, but he ended up fatally shooting Garrett Foster. Foster approached Perry's car window while open carrying a loaded AK-47. Perry and Foster are both white males and both veterans. Perry was later charged with murder by a liberal George Soros-backed DA named Jose Garza.

Perry was convicted of murder in April of 2023, and a year after that, in May of 2024, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issued a full pardon to Perry, and he called out Garza for what he said were politically motivated actions.

He told me that he had no intention of ending up near the protest, and when he realized he was by a crowd of people, he stopped his vehicle. Here's what he says happened from there.

Perry said he sped away to try to get to safety and he heard gunshots going off behind him. There was a second shooter in the crowd, but Perry said he thought he had missed Foster and Foster was now trying to kill him. The second shooter left three bullet holes in Perry's vehicle.

He's been identified by authorities and they've determined that he acted criminally, but Perry told me that the DA's office has refused to prosecute him. Following the incident, he was seeking help to cope with the trauma of what he experienced, and he was trying to move on with his life. He never thought he would be charged with murder since he said he clearly acted in self-defense.

But that all changed. He started to receive death threats over the incident, and he told me that the Army stationed him in Alaska to protect his safety. At the same time, Perry said Garza was campaigning for DA on getting justice for Foster. Garza was elected and then secured an indictment against Perry.

At that time, Perry's defense said that the indictment was politically motivated and unusual since they were unable to present a written presentation to the grand jury. I asked Perry how he was feeling going into the trial.

The trial was controversial. In one instance, a juror printed out outside research and then presented it to fellow jurors. The defense sought a new trial over that and other issues, but the judge agreed with prosecution that the jurors' actions were okay. In another controversy, the lead investigator on the case, Brent Fugit, testified that Garza's office tampered with him as a witness.

He said he was ordered to remove all exculpatory evidence that would have helped Perry.
