Pamela Watts stood yards away from Green Guy Recycling in San Marcos, ready to cut and throw away signs she made in her effort to seek justice for her life partner, Jennifer Miller.
Watts began speaking to a small crowd gathered Tuesday and then started cutting the signs apart. With each snip of her scissors, three-quarters of the poster began to tear. All that remained was “Justice for Jennifer Miller.” The portion laying on the ground said, “Hartman must go,” referring to San Marcos Police Department Sgt. Ryan Hartman, who crashed into Watts’ Honda Accord on June 10, 2020, when he drove through a stop sign at an intersection in Lockhart while off-duty, killing Miller and severely injuring Watts.
“We started out to get a police officer no longer standing in judgment of others and wearing a badge who had simply nullified himself,” Watts said. “The first objective has been met. But the second has not.”
