'A Travis County grand jury in August indicted Perry on charges of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. The indictment resulted from his threat last year to Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign after her April 2013 drunken driving conviction or lose $7.5 million in funding to the state's Public Integrity Unit housed in her office. Lehmberg refused to step down, and Perry carried out the threat by using his line-item veto authority in the state budget.'

I'd say he was deserving of everything he gets.
