How to beat a murder case: Step 1: Always represent yourself. This is very important. You need to have inexperienced counsel. Step 2: Make sure your hair is standing up on end. This builds credibility with the jury. It makes you look taller and helps you to assert your dominance over the jury. Step 3: Make sure to scream at the jury and give them a fearsome stare. They will be mere putty in your hands at that point. Step 4: Sit back and profit. Youre going home son.

And a man with a fool for a client who represents himself as someone he is not [like representing himself [or herself] as a judge/lawyer/executioner and then as his [or her] own lawyer to defend that mess he [or she] did is the worst kind of fool going...] A person who represents himself and/or herself as someone they are not to someone whom is depending on them for help like to anyone who is in a problematic situation is almost as big of a fool. And so that investigator detective in this case was already a father to the 8 year old boy left behind while he was investigating this case because he was real not fake. I have a theory about what may have really happened. For all we know that disabled child may have been already suffering from COVID-19 too along with having a terrible biological father and while she was dying maybe having an epileptic seizure for the first and last time too while her mother was trying to care for her and then while Ronnie O'Neil was attacking his mother at first with only his fists as judge/lawyer/executioner when his son saw what was happening then while his 8 year old son was trying to save his mother from another beaten again then that is when that poor boy got stabbed. Then Ronnie O'Neil while the poor boy gave up and then went back to his room while wondering what would happen next took his mother to another room to shoot her. Then while Ronnie O'Neil was worried about getting caught he had started the house on fire while ordering his son to be silent about the whole thing.

I'm wondering your thoughts about Ronnie Oneal ( the father ) being shot in the head in the year 2017 ( less than a year before the murders ) He was in the ICU for 5 days, clinging on to life and he had severe head trauma. Shortly after he started converting to Islam, and not just in a normal way of studying other religions, He quickly became an extremist. There is no family history of Islam and he had increased aggression ( which is a sign of head trauma ). There are a lot of facets to this story, making it interesting to dig into.

As if everyone secretly envies the sociopaths and psychopaths, so “narcissist” is the only thing they have (outside actually calling him a “crazy person”) that they think will sting. The most dangerous and selfish personality on Earth appears to have been glorified to the point that people actively seek to emulate it and opt for labeling him a “narcissist” instead lest they “compliment” him. Most jerks I’ve met have actually been quite resilient to criticism. That’s why they were jerks. They had, by all appearances, relatively sanguine internal worlds. They might retaliate against insults to keep “respect” in order, but it’s usually instrumental or the consequence of poor impulse control.

[@lissaw4]

I'm greatly uncomfortable with those that represent themselves being able to _personally_ cross examine their victims/accused victims - especially if they are minors. While yes, victim testimony and cross examination is important; I do feel that you should be forced to have another attorney do that specific cross examination. We have seen far too many times, that some of these people who commit horrific, brutal and maniacal crimes use this opportunity to feed some dark desire of further traumatizing, intimidating, controlling, harming, distress, to gloat and making their victims feel great fear. I mean, we see it from defendants in the courtroom that are represented by actual professionals. Some of these people even admit to that being why they wanted a trial, wanted cross examination, that they wanted to see the damage they caused, see the victim "one more time", that it's all they cared about in the trial, that they were fine being removed from the court because they already had that opportunity and even brag about it all.Testifying in a case is difficult enough as a witness- much less when you are the victim. Add in having the perpetrator of the horrific attack/crime cross examine you, behave in such disturbing ways, be your parent and you are a very young child. It's literally the legal way of continuing to harm, victimize and traumatize your victim, with a guaranteed excuse.

[@palmer8278]

In the United States' criminal justice system, the accused has a right to question and face his accusers. They don't have to testify if they don't want to face them, but the defendant is innocent of any crime until proven guilty, and if you don't allow him or her to confront her accusers or alleged victims then you assume his or her guilt before he or she is found guilty. So I'm greatly uncomfortable with your interpretation of the rights of the accused.

[@lissaw4]

“O’Neal wanted justice in this case, but he didn’t want to confess, in a way he wanted to help out the state, he figured he murdered two people, he might as well murder reasonable doubt and ensure his own conviction [...]”😂😂😂 I tend to agree this is exactly what happened. Good analysis Dr Grande. Thanks for that dry humour of yours which makes a very sad and heartbreaking case manageable to endure. O’Neal does show signs of mental illness. I have read literature about mental illnesses that include multiple pertinent examples of the behaviour of people who kill whilst having a mental breakdown. I noted that many of these folks seem to have a “reasonable” explanation as to why they caused such destruction and devastation. This is despite said reasoning does NOT make any sense to anyone else but themselves. I am puzzled that it would seem (from O’Neal’s representation of himself in court) that he was not thoroughly assessed before the trial or he would never have had the opportunity to represent himself in court. Even I, who is not a psychiatrist or psychologist, can see the decision to have him act as his own attorney was inappropriate. It must have been a terrifying and horrendous experience for this young boy to face his attacker who he once called dad. However, I hope that the ordeal will turn out to be a good thing for him. This young boy get the chance to look at the monster and tell him that he had hurt him and how he had hurt him. Not many victims get to do that. I can only hope that said experience can be used as a way towards his own personal healing. I also hope that this brave boy also gets the chance to explain in court how this monster’s action destroyed everything he knew via a victim impact statement before the sentencing of O’Neal who has, unfortunately, lost his right to call himself dad, father or parent.
