'You stabbed me,' boy tells father at double-murder trial

Jurors heard heartbreaking testimony Wednesday morning at Ronnie Oneal’s murder trial. His 11-year-old son answered questions about the day his mom and sister were killed.
The boy was just 8 years old when he said Oneal, his father, attacked him after murdering his mom and 9-year-old sister. He bravely faced his father today.
Investigators have said Oneal shot Kenyatta Baron and beat her with a shotgun, used a hatchet to stab his daughter repeatedly, then stabbed his young son before lighting the boy and their house on fire.

His questioning of his son was pure manipulation.

[@deroxanlit4181]

I am not sure if he was really trying to manipulate his son. Ronnie was more interested in playing a lawyer than he care about his own case and care about son. He kept moving his hand around and it really enjoyed yelling in court. He totally forgot about he was the suspect and arraigned in court. Ronny really believe himself is a defendant lawyer.

[@bunnib5241]

@@deroxanlit4181 uhhh no he was attempting to make his son unsure about who the killer was. To question himself. To doubt himself. That is manipulative.

Yes- this is causing more trauma. Why are the adult, professionals allowing this? I hope they are providing some form of support (therapy) for this baby. Its not enough for him to be in an "undisclosed location".

[@LaFlor718]

@@sandrabrown7442 the son was adopted by the detective on the case and his wife. They are keeping all of the names out of the media to give this sweet child a new, fresh start without excessive media coverage. Also in the state of Florida all adopted children get therapy services and more, based on financial need. What he experienced will be with him the rest of his life, including the burn scars, but he won’t go through it alone. If you google it, the detective was visiting him in the hospital and watching movies with him, then starting bringing his wife and they formed a bond. The child wound up in foster care but the foster parents could not meet his needs so the case worker asked the detective if they would be willing to foster him and they said yes and formally adopted him.

[@quishia]

Exactly! Cross examining him in a sense to make him doubt what he witnessed. Typical manipulation tactic that narcissists use

@@teeshante well, yes it's hard for victims, but legally at this point, it is only an accusation. The right to confront the witnesses against you is guaranteed, not for folks like ONeal, but for those who are being falsely accused.
