LOCKHART — In front of the Caldwell County Justice Center, Pamela Watts renewed calls for a new grand jury proceeding in a case involving the death of Jennifer Miller.
Watts, who was Miller’s life partner, continues to seek answers for Miller’s death, which was caused when San Marcos Police Department Sgt. Ryan Hartman crashed into Miller’s vehicle on June 10, 2020. Watts, alongside Mano Amiga, called for a new grand jury at a press conference in Lockhart on Tuesday, claiming Bastrop District Attorney Bryan Goertz didn’t show all the evidence during the original grand jury proceeding.
“A grand jury is powerful,” Watts said. “The grand jury in this case needs to know and be offended by the fact that a district attorney didn’t tell them the facts in this case because he didn’t want to prosecute a cop. The grand jury can still ask to hear the case again. Either the sitting grand jury that meets [Wednesday] or any member of that grand jury that impaneled when this case came up can go to the judge and demand to see all the evidence and do it again. That’s all I’m asking. I’m asking for the justice system to work.”
