Summary

During the course of John Palmer’s journey to see justice for his wife Katie, he’s gone up against the Grayson County District Attorney, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and even taken his fight to Texas State Congress. When House Bill 558 passed, it was a huge victory – not only for John but also for the family of Royce City’s Colten Carney, who was struck and killed by a pickup truck as he walked to work in 2017. Even though his other battles are yet to be won, John Palmer isn’t stopping anytime soon, especially not before he gets #JusticeForKatiePalmer.
