Toni Massenburg was a friend. Not a close friend but a friend just the same. She was my SILs best friend. She always called her Toni Balonie. :-( I feel a ban coming on. Defense attorney Kevin Byrd, who chose not to give an opening statement to the jury, implied during jury selection that Toni Massenburg died after her seatbelt malfunctioned and not because of her husband. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/1079460/
