felony offenses. the first hearing that mr. ponce would face would be a bail hearing, and because toxicology results can often take weeks or months to return, and without those results, the judge didn t feel completely comfortable keeping mr. ponce in jail, and opted to provide a high bond. the judge said that he was going to grant the bond, but he turned to the prosecutor and said when that blood alcohol comes back, if it s over the legal limit, he will be retained back into custody. your life comes to a screeching halt. you re not going to school. you re not going to church. you re going to sit in your house and you re going to stay there. the judge was very aggressive in his comments and i think he actually said a lot of what a lot of people were thinking. this is a traffic homicide case and the keyword being homicide. he killed somebody. i think you were drunk, i think you are lucky you didn t have a girlfriend in the car that didn t die. it was a homicide. the victims ar
as it turns out, i did actually pass out. when i woke up, there were some people driving through the rubble. they re driving through there. one gentleman got out and he approached us, and as soon as he got up to the vehicle he just put his hand over his face. the two left lanes. the paramedics arrived, and i could hear the ambulances. i could hear a helicopter also. and i could see the lights from the ambulance. they reached the vehicle and they were shining the flashlight through the front of the twisted mess. robert started yelling for them to get william out of the car first, so i just chimed in. i couldn t see will and i started arguing with the paramedic. and i heard him call signal seven. signal seven means there s a body. pasco county sheriff s
the hot engine on my arms and my chest. and i heard robert yell, and he told me that his arm and his leg were broken. robert s father s a police officer and we knew it was best to try and stay awake, so we tried talking to one another, and just tried to keep each other calm. we hadn t heard anything from will. i think we both assumed that he was knocked out from the impact. there s a pretty large signal 4 on i-275 northbound. 10-4. that thing s destroyed. i guarantee you there s a 1032 in that car right there. nobody in the vehicle is moving right now.
vehicle, so me and will were sort of chipping both in on gas for his car. he had had that mustang since high school. we took that thing to work every day, we went, hung out with all the same people together and i mean, that was our that was the car. that was the familiar vehicle for us. william didn t really want to drive that night, but he said robert s car was on the fritz so he was probably going to have to drive. by the time we actually got there, it was probably at least 11:00, 11:30. we were underaged but we were still allowed to hang out in the bar because it was a restaurant also. we were just having a good night, you know. we had no idea what was to come. closing time comes and we got in the car. i sort of squashed myself in the back of this mustang. i must have been halfway behind the passenger seat, halfway in the middle.
but the guy who caused the whole thing is on the couch watching cable tv, getting food brought to him and taking a nice shower in his bathroom when he s supposed to be in jail. it was extremely difficult for me to maintain my composure. see, i don t understand, you kill somebody with a gun, you re not allowed out on bail. you kill somebody with a car, i mean, he still killed him. so why is he given the privilege of being home? toxicology results indicated that mr. ponce was drunk. he had sustained injuries that required follow-up care. many of the doctors appointments didn t require removal of the ankle monitor. the mris did. hey! guess what day it is??
