Perry, who was working as a ride-sharing driver, was found guilty last week of murder for shooting an armed protester who he claims threatened him while participating in a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin.

The case has drawn attention from both sides, including interest from Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who announced he would begin an inquiry into whether he should pardon him.
