Yonkers DWI - Article from The Journal News
| Posted on April 2, 2014 at 12:27 PM |
Yonkers DWI YONKERS – Rhonda Richardson
has spent the last eight months trying to manage the overwhelming
sadness she's felt since losing her only daughter, the victim of a
drunk-driving crash. There are happy moments, such as texts from
her granddaughter and daily visits from her son, who lives upstairs. But
there's also confusion and frustration, most recently after the man
responsible for Kelly Williams' death pleaded guilty last month to
felony vehicular manslaughter. Richardson didn't want a plea bargain for William Watkins-Gomes, who agreed to serve 1 /
to 4 years after admitting he was intoxicated during the Aug. 4 crash
in Mount Vernon that killed her daughter, a passenger in the car. He had
faced up to seven years in prison. "Even if he got six years in
the state penitentiary, that would have been fine with me," Richardson,
63, said from the living room of her Sherwood Avenue home. "I'm not
comfortable with what the sentence was. My daughter's not coming back.
She was my best friend. She was also my baby." Richardson's
dissatisfaction with the justice system is something other victims'
families have encountered before — a process they can't dictate. Her
family wanted a trial for Watkins-Gomes, who they have described as a
friend of Williams, but the reality is the vast majority of criminal
cases in New York state don't make it that far. And it's up to the
defendant to plead guilty or have a trial. A deal for
Watkins-Gomes, 28, was reached after negotiations between his attorney
and the Westchester County District Attorney's Office, with a judge
serving as the arbiter. If the case had gone to trial, there was a
chance the Yonkers man could have walked free or received probation.
He could have also received a longer sentence. The plea agreement fell
in the middle of those scenarios. "There were extensive and
numerous conversations face-to-face ... with the (Richardson) family,"
said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the District Attorney's Office.
"They were fully apprised of what was happening, but also what various
other outcomes could be." Watkins-Gomes has been locked up since
last summer, and will receive credit for time served, meaning he's
approaching the minimum sentence, according to his attorney. That's
upsetting to the Richardsons, especially since they say Watkins-Gomes
hasn't shown remorse or apologized to them for killing 31-year-old
Williams, who was a supervisor for an organization serving people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities. His attorney, Pat
Bonanno, said his client was sorry for what happened to a woman he was
romantically involved with. He added that mitigating factors, such as
Williams not wearing a seat belt, would have surfaced if the case had
gone to trial. "It's a tragedy all around," Bonanno said. "He's truly remorseful that this resulted in a loss of life." |

I am Rhonda Richardson mother of Kelly Williams who was killed on 8/4/13 by a drunken driver ,she was a passenger. Today is Aug 9.2014 and I just found out more information on why our case was tried so haphazardly. I just found out that the defendants lawyer (Pat Bonano) was a retired cop and is a spokesperson for Good Morning America. Now I know how things in the media were twisted and this felon who is on probation in Ohio was allowed to get away with murder. Mr Bonano says his client was remorseful sure it took nine months for him to even admit his guilt, and now Mr Bonano says his client is so remorseful it does not take a rocket scientist to know Mr Bonano wanted his client to do time served in the (country club ) Valhalla. I know now why letters of mitigation which is a farce were allowed. Already on probation and he's allowed to have character references really?? Our ADA nice man but was he going to fight for us? Well we believed him asked for no plea bargaining. Guess what? Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dom believed him believed in the justice system. Clear cut case alcohol level,thc in blood no one forced him to drive, he was behind the wheel what else . Well while we we were believing in this system Mr ADA was plea bargaining our little buts down the drain with a smile and a pat on the back, oh did I mention he is up for probation already? Well Mr Bonano and Mr ADA I hope you sleep well at night but I guess it's not hard with fatter pockets and more feathers in your cap,so Truth Justice and the American waty are just like Santa Claus.

Rhonda Richardson

What a frustrating process. I guess that justice isn't always there regardless of how much you fight for it. You could submit your story to your local newspaper of magazine so that more people will know about it. Things like this must not be tolerated. If you like, there are those who can write the story for you and I know a few websites that offer a rush essay discount code for faster results. I hope you and your family achieve peace. God bless.
