Austin Star Police Detective Accuses DA Jose Garza's Office of Criminal Witness Tampering in High-Profile Case



Now, the lead detective in the Perry case is accusing District Attorney Garza of witness tampering in order to obtain the indictment. That detective is David Fugitt, the veteran APD officer known for solving so many cases. He has filed an affidavit in the case that clearly and unequivocally points the finger at Garza.

In the affidavit, which PJ Media has obtained, Detective Fugitt says:'

Prior to the grand jury presentation in this case, I had several conversations with the District Attorney’s Office regarding the presentation of exculpatory evidence related to Daniel Perry. It became clear to me that the District Attorney’s Office did not want to present evidence to the grand jury that would be exculpatory to Daniel Perry and/or to show that witness statements obtained by the family of Garrett Foster and/or their attorneys were inconsistent with prior interviews such “witnesses” gave the police and/or the video of the incident in question. I had also wanted to present previous statements from the Complainant in Count 2 where she never once suggested that Daniel Perry intentionally and knowingly threatened her with imminent bodily injury by driving a motor vehicle in her direction. The District Attorney’s Office also made me remove an animation from Daniel Perry’s driving the night of the incident coordinated with his cell phone records that would have refuted the deadly conduct charge ultimately returned by the grand jury.

Detective Fugitt elaborates:

On more than one occasion I was directed by the Travis County Attorney’s Office to remove exculpatory information that I had intended to present to the grand jury during my testimony. At that point, I specifically asked if there would be “ramifications” if I did not do so. I was told by Assistant District Attorney Guillermo Gonzalez that he would ask the elected District Attorney, Jose Garza, what would happen if I refused to agree to the limitations I was being ordered to comply with. I was later sent an email simply reaffirming the exculpatory subjects that I was forbidden from mentioning during my testimony. Of my original 158 slide powerpoint presentation, the presentation was reduced to 56 slides with almost all of the exculpatory evidence ordered removed. I felt like I did not have any other options but to comply with their orders.

Fugitt accuses the district attorney’s office of engaging in unethical and criminal behavior.

Damn. Standing up. I'll note its only happening because his chain of command is backing him. Sadly most big city departments wouldn't.

Texas Rangers May Be Investigating Witness Tampering Allegation Against Travis County's DA in Austin Protest Shooting Case

That’s after the hearing in Judge Brown’s court. O’Connell names APD Assistant Chief Richard Guajardo in his tweet. If what O’Connell says in the tweet is true, and the Texas Rangers are investigating the original complaint that Det. Fugitt leveled at the DA’s office in his sworn affidavit, the investigation may have to expand. O’Connell seems to be calling for just that to happen by tagging the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety.

GoFundMe removes page supporting Army sergeant who shot and killed armed Black Lives Matter protester



Believing that Foster was beginning to raise the rifle and that his life was in danger, Perry fired the handgun he kept in his car console multiple times at which point another protester opened fire on him.

The man with the AK-47, Garrett Foster, was fatally wounded.

Roughly a year later, Perry was indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges by Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza who claimed that over 150 pieces of evidence and testimony from 22 witnesses during a three-week court hearing led to the decision to press charges.

Perry’s attorneys say the shooting was a clear case of self-defense and have expressed serious concerns with how the case has been handled by Garza’s office.

"Garrett Foster either intentionally or accidentally pointed his rifle at Daniel Perry’s head and Daniel Perry fired in self-defense," Perry attorney Doug O’Connell told Fox News Digital. "And as a practical matter he had no ability to retreat nor was he required to."

Veteran Detective David Fugitt of the Austin Police Department, the lead investigator on the case who has been on the Austin police force for 27 years, concluded that the shooting was justifiable homicide, but charges were filed anyway, and the veteran detective said in a sworn affidavit that Garza’s office committed witness tampering by preventing the grand jury from seeing exculpatory evidence.

This is not surprising when you have leftists take over state prosecution.

They love fascist scum bags and criminals and hate decent citizens.

Photo Appears to Show Garrett Foster With Rifle Next To Surrounded Car Moments Before Austin Shooting



The photo clearly shows a few key things. Foster was armed and was holding his rifle as he approached the vehicle that night. According to the person who shot him and other witnesses, protesters surrounded and began beating on the car after making a right turn from 4th Street to Congress Ave.

Foster approached the car with the crowd and pointed his rifle at the driver.

There were rumors over the weekend that the interview below occurred some days or even weeks earlier. The photo above and the video here would seem to refute that, as Foster is wearing the same clothing and carrying the same gun. The AK-47 in the photos and the video also appear to match.

Travis County Jury Finds Texas Soldier Guilty of MURDER For Shooting Armed BLM-Antifa Protester in Self Defense During 2020 Riots​

In the summer of 2020, Police confirmed that two people fired shots during an altercation in Austin between a motorist and a Black Lives Matter-Antifa protester, during which the protester was shot and killed.

Police say that the man who was killed, Garrett Foster, was armed and confronted the vehicle — but was not the other person who fired shots.

The Austin Police said during a late night press conference in July 2020 that Foster was carrying a rifle and may have approached the vehicle prior to the shooting.

Governor Abbott to the rescue!

Less than 24 hours after a Texas jury convicted Army Sgt. Daniel Perry of murder in the 2020 shooting of a protester, Gov. Greg Abbott announced on social media Saturday that he will pardon Perry as soon as a request "hits my desk."

Two wrongs don't make a right.

A lot of what I say here depends on which story you read. The one from gateway Pundit has me thinking the guy was innocent.
The one from USA today has me thinking he may have been guilty.

I wasn't on the jury and didn't hear actual testimony, but the two stories are definitely slanted according to which you want to believe.

The dead guy would probably be alive if he had left his gun home, but he brought it, and IMO he didn't bring it for protection, he brought it to intimidate citizens who were not in his group. The shooter brought his gun for protection in case he met up with one of these ANTIFA-BLM idiots.

In either case in Texas ,both were probably innocent until the SHTF.
When it hit, it was all over in a split second and one guy is dead and the other charged with murder.

Don't start no chit, there won't be no chit.. Who started it--- the guy with the AK-47 IMO.

Not guilty for the soldier, although if he had left his gun home he would have probably gone home without injury, Who knows?

As I understand, one of the homicide detectives filed an affidavit that the DA ordered mitigating information be kept from the jury.

Lead Detective in Daniel Perry Case: Soros-Funded DA Removed 100 Pages of Evidence from Jury – DA’s Actions Went from Highly Unethical to Criminal Conduct​

This weekend the lead detective in the case, David Fugitt, filed an affidavit following the shocking verdict in the case.

According to Fugitt, District Attorney Joze Garza and his office had him remove 100 pages of exculpatory evidence in the case. The DA’s office had him shorten his presentation from 158 slides to 56 slides.

Fugitt added that this was likely criminal behavior.

Lead Detective in Daniel Perry Case: Soros-Funded DA Removed 100 Pages of Evidence from Jury – DA’s Actions Went from Highly Unethical to Criminal Conduct​

Texas pardons US Army sergeant Daniel Perry who was convicted of murder for shooting AK-47-wielding BLM protester during 2020 riot​

A Texas man convicted of shooting a Black Lives Matter protestor dead during the 2020 riots has been pardoned.

Daniel Perry, a former US Army Sergeant, was found guilty last year of murdering protestor Garrett Foster in Austin in July 2020. Perry sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested the state parole board investigate his case to discuss a possible pardon just days later - which led to a unanimous approval vote that was announced Thursday.

In a statement after the vote was announced, Abbott cited Texas' 'Stand Your Ground' laws, which allow people to use deadly force if they feel they are in imminent danger.

'Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,' Abbott said.

'I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.'
