Internet Somehow Finds Humor In Defense Of Man Accused Of Brutally Killing Wife, Disabled Daughter
The internet has an interesting way of finding humor in anything.
Twitter was in full force on Wednesday, cracking jokes about the defense of a man accused of killing his girlfriend and their daughter before setting their house on fire in Riverview, Florida.
Ronnie Oneal III is facing two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder for the gruesome killing of his girlfriend Kenyatta Barron, 22, their disabled daughter Ron’Niveya Oneal, 9, and his son Ronnie IV, 11, who was stabbed but survived the ordeal, Newsweek reported.
“Two statements stuck in my mind. I believe he said, ‘my dad killed my mom’ or ‘my dad shot my mom.’ It’s one of the two statements that he made,” a paramedic said of her encounter with the surviving child according to WFLA. “These are the two statements that have remained with me throughout the years.”
The boy is believed to have been disemboweled.
The father, who has no experience with the law, decided to represent himself in the case and was seen yelling at jurors.
“And the evidence is going to show, that law enforcement tampered with evidence to meet their such high burden of proof. Because originally it wasn’t enough, so we had to tamper with evidence, since it was such evident already, but we still had to tamper with evidence,” Oneal said.
But the disturbing nature of the crime didn’t stop folks from getting a laugh out of the ordeal.
