Convicted of homicide. He was found guilty of one count of capital murder and therefore, sentenced to death. The motive was grand theft auto and even though the police got a confession, he eventually withdrew and maintained his innocence right up to the end. Werner Herzog, a German film director, interviewed him just prior to his execution. The documentary film was titled "Into the Abyss".Michael Perry was not perfect because he was a man. He has paid the ultimate price to society and he has stood amongst God, Jesus and the Saints to be judged and by Gods grace he has been forgiven and has found peace in the heavens. This memorial is in memory of the good, kind and gentle soul we knew that went astray. Let no man judge him anymore because his spirit no longer lingers amongst the living. Allow him to have peace and for those who cared, allow them to show love.

Michael James Perry (April 9, 1982 – July 1, 2010) and Jason Aaron Burkett (born July 31, 1982) were American spree killers who killed three people in Texas in 2001. They were both tried and convicted of capital murder for the killings. Perry was sentenced to death and executed in 2010, while Burkett received a life sentence. Their cases were later the subject of Werner Herzog's 2011 documentary, Into the Abyss.
