Kevin Ware Jr., if found guilty, should never see the outside of jail again.
The evidence against him is pretty substantial, so I will be curious to see what his defense is. The prosecution said he went to great lengths to cover up his crime to the point of burning his girlfriend, Taylor Pomaski, dead and trying to bury the remains.
Here is how he was caught and all the charges he is facing.
The former NFL player who was charged with the murder of his ex-girlfriend about 15 months after she vanished allegedly burned her body after killing her, according to court documents released Wednesday.
Kevin Ware Jr., a former tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, was out on bail for an unrelated charge when his ex-girlfriend, 29-year-old Taylor Pomaski, went missing on April 25, 2021, after a party at her Texas home.
Newly released court documents cited by KPRC-TV allege that Ware Jr. killed Pomaski and then burned her corpse afterward, burying the remains.
A body wasn’t found until December 2021, nine months after her disappearance, and was not positively identified as Pomaski until April 29, 2022, FOX 5 NY reported.
Ware Jr. was arrested by U.S. Marshals in June for alleged bond violations and was eventually indicted by a Harris County grand jury in July for murder and tampering with evidence over Pomaski’s death.
He was reportedly transferred from Montgomery County to Harris County Jail this week, and the next hearing on the murder charge is scheduled for Sept. 26. He faces 15 years to life if convicted, prosecutors said.
Fifteen years sounds way too light if he is convicted.
Pomaski was last seen arguing with Ware Jr. at a party before she disappeared. Foul play was immediately suspected, but Ware Jr. pleaded not guilty to all charges.
This should be a fascinating case.
