I remember when this happened during the BLM craziness. It was discussed in this thread. https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...elf-defense-shooting A jury in Travis County, Texas found Army Sgt. Daniel Perry, 33, guilty of murder on Friday, nearly three years after he shot a BLM protester who had a history of threatening people with rifles, after a Soros-funded DA withheld nearly 100 pages of exculpatory evidence from the grand jury according to the lead investigator in the case. While driving for Uber, Perry shot protester Garrett Foster during a July 2020 protest in downtown Austin, after Foster and other protesters surrounded his car. After Foster raised his rifle at Perry, the Army Sergeant shot and killed Foster, then called the police to report what happened. Perry told police he shot in self-defense, which both the Austin police department and the lead detective in the case agreed with - concluding it was justifiable homicide. Then, Soros DA Jose Garza stepped in and instructed lead detective David Fugitt "to remove exculpatory information that I had intended to present to the grand jury during my testimony." Much more at the link. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||

Austin is one fucked up city, my wife and I avoid it like death. I hear A.G. Ken Paxton is livid. Wonder if Gov. Abbott can give the guy amnesty or something.

WTF, that is self defense. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

I’m not a lawyer, but how can not this conviction be overturned on appeal? Prosecutor deliberately withholding exculpatory evidence from defense and then having corroborated testimony from investigators stating this as fact, is surely more than enough for appeal. We are now well beyond the stage of trusting that justice will ever occur under Leftists controlled government. When once that stage is reached, then all bets on the future are off. --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

I got a notice of that, too. That DA should be disbarred. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

I'm of the opinion that the DA should have to serve a sentence equal to what Sgt Perry would have, for concealing the evidence. But I'm a grouchy old man. | |||

The contentious part is if Foster raised his rifle or not. Perry says he did. Supposedly multiple witness were produced that said Foster never raised his rifle or pointed it at Sergeant Perry. Seems like the case hinged on that point. I think multiple picture are out there showing Foster with his hands on his rifle r before the engagement with Perry. Seems like there is reasonable doubt at least. | |||

Back, and to the left |
Does the Texas Bar Association have the power to remove or disbar a sitting District attorney? For that matter, do any of the various state bars' have any such authority? If they do, they have been guilty of dereliction of duty for some time now. | |||

Disbar, yes. It would almost certainly be a tough and lengthy process. It's an open question as to whether that would force removal of a DA, particularly in one of the big urban counties like Travis, since the DA is elected and has plenty of other licensed lawyers in the office to do anything that requires a law license. IOW, the guy probably has to be run out of office by the voters, as happened in California. | |||

I suspected as much. I would have thought that this withholding of exculpatory evidence thing would be a major problem for this asshole with the state bar though. | |||

^^ The rules are different in grand jury proceedings. Did the DA hide the ball in the actual trial? If so the way to go is generally to request a new trial rather than seek a pardon. | |||

No More Mr. Nice Guy |
The perp is clearly menacing the driver with his rifle. He is in a ready position to swiftly move it the small distance needed to aim it directly at the driver and fire it. His posture is menacing. For no good reason, as the driver had every right to be where he was, and the mob approached the car and was preventing him from leaving. Clearly self defense. | |||

This fucking city of mine man, this fucking city. Minneapolis becomes first major U.S. city to allow all five Muslim daily prayer calls Minneapolis on Thursday became the first major American city to permit unfettered broadcast of the Muslim call to prayer, allowing the adhan to be heard over speakers five times a day, year-round. The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to amend the city's noise ordinance, which has prevented some morning and evening calls at certain times of the year because they occurred at night when tighter noise restrictions are in place. "The Constitution doesn't sleep at night," said Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), after the vote. He said Minneapolis' action should show the world that a "nation founded on freedom of religion makes good on its promise." ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
