A Florida man on trial for a double homicide turned the proceedings into a circus, as he acted as his own lawyer and cross-examined his 11-year-old son, who responded to his dad by testifying: “You stabbed me.”
Ronnie Oneal III allegedly murdered his girlfriend and their disabled 9-year-old daughter, then stabbed his then 8-year-old boy before setting the family’s Tampa home on fire in 2018.
The surviving child testified Wednesday by remote video that he witnessed the murders.
When it was Oneal’s turn to cross-examine the boy, he asked his son, “Did I hurt you that night?”
“Yes,” the 11-year-old responded.
“How did I hurt you?” Oneal continued.
“You stabbed me,” his son replied.
On Monday, Oneal told the court that the prosecution’s evidence was “some of the most vicious, lying, fabricating, fictitious government you ever seen,” while delivering opening arguments on his own behalf.
“I look alone. But I am backed by a mighty God,” Oneal shouted as he gestured and paced in the Tampa courtroom.
Prosecutors said they would prove Oneal shot his girlfriend Kenyatta Barron before beating her to death.

WFLA reported that “dispatchers said a man could be overheard in the background yelling ‘Allah Akbar!’” The phrase means God is great in Arabic. Dispatchers also heard, ‘She killed me.’ The woman could then be heard screaming and saying, ‘I’m so sorry Ronnie.’”
Moments later, another 911 call came in from a man saying, “I’ve just been attacked by some white demons…She tried to kill me and I just killed her,” and gave dispatchers the Pike Lake Drive address.

I think we have most of the evidence needed right cheer...
Ahhhhh....Florida Man
Good job at the lawyering, bozo.
The hairdo screams “not guilty.”
The guy is crazy.
"Never ask a question you don't know the answer to."
Nuttier then squirrel turds.
he is crazy but not “get out of jail free” crazy..
Perhaps not as crazy as we think, if his goal is convince the jury that he's crazy.
He who represents himself has a fool for a client
“You don’t need to speak. Your hair is screaming at me already.”
His “Do” is a new one to me.
His suit can’t conceal the krazy though.
There were similar moments in the Colin Ferguson trial, in which spree killer Ferguson acted as his own attorney and cross-examined his surviving victims at trial.
"And can you tell the jury what happened next."
"Yes. You shot me."
I mean, he did know the answer ...
Too bad he survived sticking his finger into that socket!

Lawyering 201: “A person who represents themself in court has a fool for a client”
So that’s what an African’s hair looks like when it’s combed with a balloon.
