Double-murder defendant's closing arguments: 'I did kill Kenyatta'

Ronnie Oneal, acting as his own attorney, spent much of his closing arguments shouting at prosecutors and the jury, much as he did during opening statements.

Jurors are now tasked with determining the fate of Oneal, accused of murdering his girlfriend Kenyatta Barron and 9-year-old daughter – and attempting to kill his 8-year-old son.

Much like his opening statements one week ago, Oneal yelled as he spoke to jurors, saying his son's statements were inconsistent and he believes his son was likely coached by the Hillsborough County detective who later adopted him.

"I did kill Kenyatta Barron, but I want you to tell it like it is if you’re going to tell it," he said.

This dude went and watched as many lawyer movies he could and was like “ok I got it” and this was the result.

I’m so glad they let him represent himself. Honestly because no one else could’ve done a better job at displaying how much of a lunatic and idiot he really is.

[timjones]

[emilyvee]

He’s a good attorney! He successfully prosecuted a criminal.

[cecilf.boylejr]

"I did kill Kenyatta but only hit her 3 times, not 18 like they said." Marvelous defense.

[GrindmodeCHRIS]

You know you crazy when you don’t have a lawyer to defend you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[JonnyEdwin]

This guy watched Law & Order once and said to himself, "I got this."

[samuraichilton]

This guy is the only person taking himself seriously.

[jennief]

I CANNOT believe they allowed this maniac to be unshackled. Absolutely nuts!

[jaewes]

[VT-tzbm]

His last moments as a free man were spent humiliating himself.

[cattinkerbell]

His arguments: I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy.

[TheBiggest]

“If you think I’m here to play around with y’all, god damn it, I’m not!”-Oneal
That was hilarious 😆 😂😂😂

[marquesq.]

This would be comical if it wasn't such a horrifying situation.

[rotflolextreme]

After reading what he did, and now watching his court appearances, its clear he's criminally insane.

[itsascaryworld]

I was waiting for the famous “ you want the truth!? You can’t handle the truth!” 😂😂😂

[teddymills]

Ronnie thinks that by raising his voice it makes the statement true.

[Ryan-zctz]

The fact that he's pacing back and forth, pretending to be all instrospective and contemplative like an actual trial lawyer makes this absolutely hilarious.
