Victim's mother gives tearful testimony, jury to decide on death penalty in Ronnie Oneal murder case

The jury in the Ronnie Oneal trial has a weighty decision before them. Will they send Oneal to death row or give him life in prison? The same jury convicted Oneal on Monday of killing his 9-year-old daughter, her mother, Kenyatta Barron and attempting to kill his 8-year-old son.
The prosecution started their case by urging the jury to consider the violence and carnage he inflicted on his family. They told the jury that Oneal should pay with his life for the crimes he committed.
The jury also heard from Kenyatta Barron’s family, including her mother, Carrie Lloyd, who said her daughter was a beautiful person and wonderful mother.
"There has been a hole in my life since this happened," said Lloyd.
Testimony resumes Thursday. The jury must be unanimous to hand down a death sentence.

Then instead of trying to make amends for his actions, he not only blatantly lies about what he did and why he did it, he also tried to victim blame and intimidate and discredit the surviving witness who is his flesh and blood child.

Mon Nguyen why only under the age of 14 ? what is wrong with you ??

[@Negus1k]

Why the grandma didn’t take in her grandson ? It’s weird that a detective on the case adopted him 🤔….this whole case is off and as usual black people are attacking our own without looking at all the facts, he says he was defending his kids from the mom and that his dna never showed on the weapons used to kill the daughter along with altered audio and altered call logs…something fishy going on if you ask me

[@xxamylgrantxx]

Why didn't she adopt her daughters son who was stabbed? Why did a detective have to do that

[@ATHLETE.X]

My bet is he’s gonna fry. RIP to his family and hopefully his son can have a peaceful life going forward.

[@pistolp01]

I think you're right, but, when will he fry? The death penalty is only a deterrent to garbage, in our society, if it's carried out almost immediately. Put that into law and see how that works. I believe it could save a few victims lives.

Why was he allowed to cross examine or question his son or represent himself? I'm convinced our world has gone down the tubes

[@tracybohl8472]

I wondered that too. The judge seems extremely concerned for the child's welfare, so I am going to assume that they didnt have a choice, since he decided to represent himself. So terribly sad...they could tie him and Chris Watts together and just drop both of them in the middle of the ocean.

Cheaper to keep them than kill them. Otherwise I’d be for the death penalty for him and a few select others. Some people are irredeemable. He’s one of them.

So let me get this straight according to his attorney his life is worth saving. Yet he killed his girlfriend and daughter. Then stabbed his son who survived. He then had the audacity to interrogate his son in front of the entire world. Why his is life worth saving??? They would be doing the world a favor getting rid of this monster so he doesn't try again. What a sick human being.
