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,
       11/28/2008, with my other brother, Michael Antonio Norman.

       (3) I believe they went to Dallas.

       (4) Over t~e 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 not at home, and I ran·upstairs and hid in my mommy's and daddy's. ···
       bed.
