In a packed courtroom, opening statements and witness testimony picked up for the murder trial of Daniel Perry. Perry is accused of killing Black Lives Matter protester Garrett Foster in 2020. If Perry is found guilty by a jury, he could face life in prison.
The opening statements kicked off with the state who explained to the jury Perry intentionally instigated what happened that night.
After opening statements, the jury heard from five witnesses. The first witness was a 25-year-old independent videographer who livestreamed the protest in 2020. He told the jury the protest remained peaceful, but the crowd did walk on the street and halt traffic despite being directed by police to stay on the sidewalks.

He noted the man looked like he was ready to raise the gun, but did not see the man point the gun at anybody.
