Update: Governor Abbott claims he will pardon Daniel Perry.
"I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry," the Texas Republican tweeted Saturday along with a statement on how his office will go about a pardon.
Abbott said in his tweet that pardons in Texas must be recommended by the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
"I have made that request and instructed the board to expedite its review," Abbott said.
I'll remain skeptical until it is a done deal. I could see this just being lip service, talk tough but then quietly letting the board deny the request so Abbott can claim "I tried."
