Very interesting interview about personal aspects of Honorable Perry. It also includes how his colleagues have described him. A good read.

Of note. "Court staff noted that they cannot tell when the Judge is
kidding or when he’s serious" on Page 5.

Does anyone know anything about the 8 people Perry has sentenced to death. I would appreciate any information. Cannot find a list of them. I am curious if any were for killing children.
