Dropping the Murder Charges?
There's a gag order in the case, so this isn't officially confirmed yet but is being reported by multiple media sources:
DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James is alleged to be considering dropping murder charges against the mother of two. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has sought to confirm these reports but neither side will comment, citing a gag order imposed by Superior Court Judge Gregory A. Adams.
In addition to the murder charges, Andrea Sneiderman faces 13 lesser charges — four counts of perjury, seven counts of making false statements and one count each of hindering the apprehension of a criminal and concealment of material fact — that carry sentences of up to five to 10 years each.
Most of those charges revolve around statements Sneiderman made in court and to police about the alleged affair. Prosecutors hope to use previous testimony from Neuman’s friend, Melanie White, according to court documents. Neuman has already stated, through his attorneys, he will not take the stand in the Sneiderman trial.
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is looking like a really weak prosecution case, imo.
Neuman's nuts and he won't be testifying anyway. So, the star witness against Sneiderman is going to be his friend, to whom he told stories of his affair with Sneiderman?
IDK, unless the prosecution has a whole lot more evidence than what's known to the public, the murder charges should probably be dropped. And, without the murder charges, how strong are the other charges?
Sneiderman is annoying and rubs me the wrong way. And, I think she's lying about some things (maybe even conspiring to murder her husband), but hate to see the state of Georgia waste money if there is insufficient evidence to support the charges.
July selection starts on Monday, guess we'll see soon enough what cards the prosecution is holding.
