The latest sad chapter in the O’Neill family saga will play out today.
Rosin O’Neill, 22, is expected to turn herself in to face charges connected to a fatal accident that occurred on the Blue Route last month. The Newtown Square woman was driving the wrong way when her car collided with one being driven by a Massachusetts woman. Patricia Murphy Waggoner, 63, was pronounced dead at the scene. O’Neill was hospitalized.
Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman will announce the charges against O’Neill at a press conference this morning. The Delco woman is expected to be charged with homicide.
She is the sister of Sean O’Neill Jr., who is now back in a juvenile facility in the western part of the state for his role in a shooting that took the life of his lifelong friend and Cardinal O’Hara classmate Scott Sheridan. O’Neill Jr. was initially charged as an adult with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting, which followed an unchaperoned drinking party at the O’Neill home. He served nine months at a juvenile facility before being released on home monitoring. Last week he was returned to another juvenile facility on a probation violation.
Their father is Sean O’Neill Sr., who has legal troubles of his own. He is awaiting trial on federal weapons and immigration offenses.
A lot of people believe these are three different instances, that one has nothing to do with the others.
They are not especially happy that they get lumped together in the newspaper each time one or the other is in the news.
Roisin O’Neill is 22. She is an adult, and her actions should stand on their own.
At the time of the fatal shooting, Sean O’Neill Jr. was a juvenile.
Sean O’Neill Sr. has no shortage of backers who believe he is the target of some kind of vendetta by the feds.
I have listened to the complaints offered about the coverage involving the O’Neill family. There’s a part of me that can understand their gripes.
But there’s also a part of me that understands there are now two people dead because of the actions of members of this family.
I don’t know the O’Neills. I’ve never met them. There’s a part of me that certainly can feel for them and what they have gone through.
But there’s also a part of me that struggles to understand some of their actions, and the devastating result those actions have had on others.
We will cover the story today of the charges being filed against Roisin O’Neill.
It will be the latest chapter in an incredibly sad saga.
