Judge denies bond for William Wiggins in connection to triple murder

Snip:
BARTOW – William "Robert" Wiggins, who faces charges related to the July 2020 triple slaying of three friends at a lake in Frostproof, was denied bond Tuesday by a judge who noted he had repeatedly violated court orders by communicating with his older brother, the accused gunman.

Snip
"There is no way to ensure the integrity of the judicial process under pretrial release conditions because Mr. Wiggins was being held under pretrial order and continued to violate the order of the court while in custody” Gravitt said Tuesday. “If he can't follow the order of the court while he’s in custody, I certainly have no assurance that he would follow it if he was out of custody.”

Thanks for this update @PayrollNerd. This description of Robert while in custody is exactly what I've been envisioning! He most likely forfeited $$$ from his last bond when violating the terms of his release, don't know where/how they could afford to get him out again. MOO

Don't you just love how his father was trying to convince the court RW needed to help his father TW, Sr.? As if the two of them had done so well taking care of each other before...... and such a fine job of raising his son too... Cough, Cough, Cough. O. M. G.


"Robert Wiggins had a bond hearing Tuesday that he attended virtually in which his lawyer, Graylin Chastang, requested that he be granted bond to help his father, Tony Wiggins Sr., 57, of Frostproof with transportation, property maintenance and finances as well as provide a stable residence for his son."

Yes -- this is the same father that insisted Robert talk to his brother TJ (handing him the phone) within days after he was released on bond!
