Perry was convicted on April 8th, 2023 for the murder of Foster, and he was later sentenced to 25 years behind bars.

After Perry was convicted, Governor Abbott announced that he would be asking the Texas Parole Board to review Perry's case, and if a recommendation was made, he would move swiftly to give Perry a full pardon. Abbott said, this is a quote, Perry spent 13 months behind bars before Abbott received the go-ahead from the board to grant that full pardon.

Texas AG Ken Paxton said that justice had prevailed in reaction to the pardon, and he said Soros-backed prosecutors like Jose Garza do not get to pick and choose the rights Americans have. Perry, who is Jewish, said that it was his faith in God that got him through.

Perry told me that Garza and the DA's office have taken actions against him that he feels are both politically motivated and personal. In one instance, Perry believes Garza's office was behind the push to get him a less than honorable discharge from the military.

Court documents were also unsealed showing private messages on Perry's phone after Governor Abbott signaled that he was looking to issue a pardon. At the time, Perry's defense called that move a political decision by the district attorney.

Some of the private messages discussed guns and shooting protesters if they were to attack Perry, and other messages were racial in nature and, by Perry's own description, offensive. Perry says the messages were mostly between himself and his military buddies, some of whom are Black, and they were taken out of context. He also believes that releasing those messages was an act of retaliation.

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.
