On an April 2020 morning in a country neighborhood of Denison, Texas, Katie and John Palmer set out for a walk and to hopefully spot some killdeer birds nesting down the street. When they headed back home on Glenwood Drive, walking on the left side of the road where they would face traffic should there be any, the couple was struck from behind without warning. John Palmer survived his injuries, but his wife Katie was pronounced dead at a Plano Hospital trauma center many hours later. There was much to be desired concerning the Texas Department of Public Safety’s “investigation” at the scene. Months later, a grand jury declined to indict the man who hit Katie and John Palmer, killing her. But a trooper at the scene recommended the man’s arrest and charges in his report, citing criminal negligence. To this day, John Palmer continues to fight for justice for Katie.
