UPDATE: ‘You Stabbed Me:’ Ronnie Oneal’s Young Son Recalls Witnessing Murders Of Mom And Sister
Ronnie ONeal, the double-murder defendant in Florida who decided to act as his own lawyer in his death penalty trial, is going viral once again.
As we previously reported, Oneal has been accused of killing his girlfriend, 33-year-old Kenyatta Barron, and daughter, 9-year-old Ron’Niveya Oneal. He is facing two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder for crimes that happened in Riverview in March of 2018. He began his opening statement by shouting at jurors that he did not attack his girlfriend and disabled daughter. Oneal claimed that the government would present fabrications and lies.
However, prosecutors say tons of evidence shows Oneal killed them with a gun and a hatchet, stabbed his son with a knife, and set their home on fire three years ago, ABC News affiliate WTXL Tallahassee reports. The son survived and was cross-examined by his father, who forced the 11-year-old to explain exactly how he hurt him. “You stabbed me,” the boy testified. During court on Wednesday, little Ronnie himself also detailed how the murderous rampage unfolded that night. “My mom ran to my sister’s room and into the closet,” the boy sadly testified…
“My mom ran to my sister’s room and into the closet,” the boy testified. “Then, like, my dad said, ‘Come in here, come kill this B-word,” he said, adding that he heard a shotgun blast. There was blood everywhere,” he slowly as he went on to explain how he witnessed his father kill his sister, striking her twice with an axe. “Then he lighted something with a tissue and a match.”
“He tried to light the match and put me on fire,” young Ronnie continued. “I got up and ran into the kitchen.”
While questioning his son, Oneal asked little Ronnie, “Did I hurt you that night of this incident?” Oneal asked.
“Yes,” the boy replied.
“How did I hurt you?” Oneal continued.
“You stabbed me,” the boy stated.
