'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.

@scripteaze i knew you were going to say that. I can *kind of* understand how you came to that conclusion, but It doesn't matter that he was defending himself. The evidence clearly pointed to him. His son survived and was able to testify against him. That's why he was given a life sentence. He's lying and using psychological manipulation _as his_ defense. They are absolutely *not* mutually exclusive. Just because he's doing what he's legally allowed to do doesn't mean he's not being manipulative. Anyone can defend themselves using manipulation, logical fallacies, lies, etc. Not a valid argument. It's still gaslighting
