A murderer possibly facing the death penalty says he's "ready to die like B.I.G."... ‘I love it,’ says man facing possible death penalty in Riverview slayings. Ronnie Oneal III wants to represent himself in his upcoming murder trial. In court, he said he was “ready to die like ‘B.I.G.’”


For three years, Ronnie Oneal III has had highly trained public lawyers representing him as he faces a possible death sentence for the slayings of his girlfriend and their 9-year-old daughter. Now, on the eve of a June trial date, he plans to go it alone. In a routine if slightly surreal pretrial hearing last week, Oneal insisted he did not want the help of his court-appointed public defenders and would handle his defense on his own. He was warned of the consequences of such a decision. He was advised that in his case — where the ultimate outcome may be his execution — the stakes couldn’t be any higher. In response, he pointed to an American rapper and songwriter who died in a drive-by shooting in 1997.

“I understand,” Oneal said. “I love it. Ready to die like B.I.G. ...
“You’re ready to die like B.I.G.?” asked Hillsborough Circuit Judge Michelle Sisco.
“Yeah,” Oneal said. “You know who that is?”


“Biggie Smalls?” Sisco said.
“That’s B.I.G.,” he said.
“Okay, yes, I know who Biggie Smalls is,” the judge said. “He was actually murdered, but — ”
“Just like I’m going to be, right?” Oneal said. “I was murdered a couple times already before. So I’m cool with being murdered again and coming back like B.I.G.”

Did the judge order a mental competency examination?

He seems to be a brick shy of a full load.

Great excuse for a mental commitment instead of death row.
