They say the district attorney prevented the detective from presenting evidence to the grand jury supporting Perry\u2019s self-defense claim in the alleged murder of a protester in Austin. The accusation resurfaced on Thursday in a letter from the defense attorneys to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.
