This announcement comes one day after Perry was found guilty of murdering Garrett Foster during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\" style=\"min-width: 320px; min-height: 50px;  text-align: center;\">\n\t<script>  \t\tgoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1'); });  \t<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>The board&#8217;s spokesperson, Rachel Alderete, confirmed on Monday that they will commence an inquiry into the matter immediately and report to the governor with recommendations upon completion. However, the board did not specify the duration the investigation would take or whether there would be an appeal process before the verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Perry, a White Army sergeant and ride-share driver, fatally shot Garrett Foster, a White man, during a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin, Texas, in 2021. Perry was charged with dangerous conduct and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for his actions during the protest.<\/p>\n<p>Perry claimed that he fired in self-defense after Foster approached his automobile with an assault rifle. He also argued that he had dropped off a client near the demonstration and was unaware of it because George Floyd, a Black parent, had died in detention the day before. Perry&#8217;s attorneys argued that he kept a weapon in his vehicle for protection while driving.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, a Travis County jury found Perry guilty of murder. The county prosecutor&#8217;s office continues to investigate the deadly conduct charge even though the jury declared him not guilty of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday afternoon, Governor Greg Abbott tweeted that he was &#8220;working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry.&#8221; He further explained that Texas law permits the governor to appeal to the state&#8217;s pardon board to determine whether a pardon should be granted and that he had &#8220;made that request and instructed the Board to expedite its review.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt.
