AFFIDAVIT OF FACT
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.
(8) When my daddy came back, he called me to come to him, so I did.
(9) My daddy called the police, and when they came, they asked me a bunch of
questions.
(10) Then I had to get in the ambulance.
(11) Then I rode backto 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 finished, 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 ~f I said the same
words, and I did.
' ·~
( 17) The next day, more policemen came and asked me a few more questions, some 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.
