The Mission

What happened to Katie?

Katie Palmer was hit by a pick up truck on the morning of April 21st 2020 and did not survive her injuries. The pick up truck was driven by Cory Foster. Cory Foster has a long history of citations and arrests from driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, reckless driving, and much more. The Grand Jury decided not to indict Cory Foster of any crime. Katie’s case has been mishandled, beginning with when Tarif Alkhatib, a state trooper, arrived on the scene of the accident up until the case was handed over to Brett Smith, Grayson County’s DA.

What Do We Want?

We want justice. We want Cory Foster to get charged for manslaughter and negligence. We want Tarif Alkhatib to be held accountable for his handling of Katie and John Palmer’s accident. We want Brett Smith to retake Katie’s case to the Grand Jury. Brett Smith also needs to be held accountable for his actions on his treatment towards John Palmer and Rhonda Nail and how he handled Katie’s case.

How Are We Going to Get There?

We are going to get there with your help. We need media pressure to let Brett Smith, Grayson County’s District attorney that we are not going to go away. The Justice for Katie Palmer Facebook Group is gaining momentum with the support of people like you!
