Early life and career
Perry's father, the late Belvin Perry, Sr. (born October 8, 1920-died May 16, 1995) served as one of the first two African-American police officers of Orlando.

In 1977, Perry received a Juris Doctor degree from the Thurgood Marshall Law School at Texas Southern University. Perry is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
Judge Perry has been involved in two of his most publicized trials in Central Florida. As a prosecutor, Perry is the chief lawyer in the case of Florida v. BuenoaÃÆ' Â ± o, where Judy Buenoano was tried and convicted of killing his son Michael Goodyear and her husband at the time, James Goodyear. As a Circuit Court Judge, Perry led the case "The State of Florida v. Casey Marie Anthony", in which Casey Anthony was indicted for the death of his daughter, Caylee Anthony. The jury declared that Anthony was not guilty of First Homicide, Child Abused Persecution, and Cruel Child Murder against a child, but guilty of four minor offenses that provided False Information to Law Enforcement Officials.
In 2014, Perry retired from the bench and soon joined the law firm Orlando Morgan & Morgan as a personal injury lawyer.
