I, Emily Elizabeth Norman, do hereby make the following statements under penalty of perjury.

       (1) On the weekend of 11/28/2008 I was at home with my mother, Leydis Viche'
       Hernandez, and my new baby brother, John Anthony Norman.

       (2) My father, Anthony Whitney Norman, had left home on Friday afternoon,
       11128/2008, with my other brother, Michael Antonio Norman .

      .{3) I believe they went to Dallas.

       (4) Over the weekend, I went for walks with my mother and watched her speak to the
       neighbors across the street.

       (5) At night on Sunday through Monday, my mother told me to take a nap for a few
       hours. Later I heard a loud noise. I was upstairs.

       (6) I came down stairs to see what was happening. Then, I saw Mommy on the floor
       dead and a gun.

       (7} 'MY daddy was notat home, and I ran:upstairs and hid in my moiilqly's and daddy's. ·
       bed.

       (8) When my daddy came back, he called me to come to him, so I did.

       (9) My daddy called the p~lice, and when they came, they asked me a bunch of
       questions.

       (10) Then I had to get in the ambulance.

        (11) Then l rode back to my Grandmother's house.
                                              '

       (12) Then my cousin came and a policeman came, then the policeman took me and my
       brother, Michael to CPS along with my cousin.,

       (13) Then they asked me a lot of questions. I answered the questions.

       (14) When I was fmished, I had to go with Grandma.

       (15) When I got to grandma's house I was crying super much.

       (16) When the police came back they asked me some question to check ~fl said the same
       words, and I did.
       (17) The next day, more policemen came and asked me a few more questions, -~orne of
       them were hard to answer, but I answered the other questions.

       (18) Some of the questions were ... Where was your dad? Did you see the whole thing ...
       Did your daddy kill your Mom?

       ( 19) My dad was not at home when my mother died.

       (20) I was upstairs waiting for hours for him to come home.
