ANDREA SNEIDERMAN TRIAL

[SIXFOOTERsez]

Well yea, the alternative is she gets up and goes and spits in the sink. That will definitely take the edge off

[RJs-Ex]

Well before wowing anyone with her "skills" they'd have to spend some time with her, I presume. Her demeanor and facial expressions just look to me like someone I wouldn't want to be around - a real bitch. She always looks likes she's smelling dog shit.

Her husband was cute, Crazy Hemy wasn't bad-looking, and now I hear this new guy is quite handsome! WTF? I'm actually NICE and no one's fighting over ME! LOL!

The judge granted the motion for prosecutors to drop all murder charges. Prosecutors told the judge on Friday that they didn’t have enough evidence to prove them.

Jury selection started today for the trial on all the other charges.

If Sneiderman is found guilty, the lesser charges could still add up to a lengthy stay behind bars. One conviction of perjury could land her in prison for five to 10 years under Georgia law.

Jury selection in the trial will continue Tuesday morning.

P.s. RJ's-Ex: "she always looks like she's smelling dog shit." That made me laugh; she really does.

Holy shit. I thought the charges had been dropped for lack of evidence so I stopped looking for details on this case.

Holy shit. I thought the charges had been dropped for lack of evidence so I stopped looking for details on this case.

Only the murder charges were dropped.

Sneiderman still faces many years behind bars if the jury convicts her of lying to police, perjury, insurance fraud...

I wonder if she'll take the stand. Her demeanor and testimony at Hemy's trial was reportedly a major factor in the prosecutors' decision to file charges against her too.

I think she'll remain silent; she doesn't ooze credibility on the stand and she really doesn't need to speak if her attorneys are good. IMO.

[HairOfTheDog]

Since prosecutors have dropped the murder and conspiracy charges, Sneiderman's essentially being tried for perjury (and adultery, imo).

I don't trust her due to her demeanor and alleged omissions to police regarding Hemy's feelings for her. But, I'm not sure if she seems so suspicious to me because she attempted to hide her boss's feelings for her, or because she actually had an affair with Hemy Neuman, or because it went further and Sneiderman did indeed inspire Hemy to kill Rusty Sneiderman.

Sneiderman now claiming not to remember when she was first told her husband had been shot is very incriminating to me, but she's not being tried for murder anymore, so...

As it stands now, I think she just might walk.

Trial is moving quickly. Opening statements were delivered and several prosecution witnesses took the stand yesterday.


DA Kellie Hill delivered the prosecution's Opening Statement.
The evidence against Sneiderman is essentially her testimony at Neuman's trial, LE's contention that she had an affair with Neuman (she sent him over 200 pictures of her children), the bartender who claims that she witnessed Hemy and Andrea kissing and grinding on the dance floor, and the claims by Andrea's ex-bestie and Andrea's father-in-law that Andrea called them and told them that Rusty had been shot before she originally claimed that she herself was informed that he'd been shot.

Evidence: an entry from a Hampton Inn logbook; a hotel the two stayed at when on a business trip with adjoining rooms.



Defense Attorney Tom Clegg delivers the defense's Opening Statement.
Clegg contends that Sneiderman told police about Hemy's feelings for her and handed them Hemy's motive within 36 hours of her husband's murder.

Clegg also contends that Sneiderman's ex-bestie and Rusty's dad are faulty in their recollections of when Andrea told them that Rusty had been shot.

Clegg says that Andrea found out at the scene of the crime, though she has no recollection of being told there (she previously claimed she found out from the doctor at the hospital).


Judge Gregory Adams is presiding over the Sneiderman trial.



The grieving widow on trial.
Will she testify? If I were Clegg, now way in hell I'd let her on the stand again. She came off terribly trying to defend innuendo against her at Neuman's trial and that's a big reason why she's on trial today.

[sharit]

Maybe she swallows.

Nah, look at her, she is a spitter.

[RJs-Ex]

She's letting her (gray) roots grow out, likely in an attempt to look matronly and harmless.

[Jimbone]

Nah, look at her, she is a spitter.

Or she has a magic snapper.

The prosecution rests its case

The state concluded its case against Andrea Sneiderman with the defendant’s own words, replayed from testimony she gave during last year’s trial of her husband’s killer, Hemy Neuman.

“Why were you protecting the defendant? Why didn’t you mention his name?” former DeKalb County Deputy District Attorney Don Geary asked Sneiderman after accusing her of leading investigators down a “rabbit hole.”

Jurors were left with Sneiderman’s memorable response, “Have you seen what’s happened to my life?” Geary’s reply: “Have you seen what’s happened to Rusty’s (Sneiderman) life?” Neuman was sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting Rusty Sneiderman outside a Dunwoody day care facility.

The dramatic finish followed extensive testimony about cellphone tower pings and deleted text messages on Day 6 of the Dunwoody widow’s perjury trial. She’s also charged with providing false statements to law enforcement, concealing material facts and hindering the apprehension of a criminal.

Defense co-counsel Doug Chalmers moved to dismiss all but the perjury charges, challenging the validity of the indictment against Sneiderman.

DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gregory A. Adams rejected the defense’s request. Sneiderman’s attorneys also filed a motion seeking a directed verdict, a verdict ordered by the judge. That motion will be considered Tuesday morning.

Earlier Monday, prosecutors returned focus to a timeline detailing Sneiderman’s actions after her husband’s shooting. FBI Special Agent Chad Fitzgerald testified that analysis of Sneiderman’s Blackberry showed that she phoned her father-in-law, her former best friend and a colleague at GE Energy before she arrived at Atlanta Medical Center.

According to her testimony in the Neuman trial, it was at the medical center she was first told her husband had been shot. The recipients of those calls all testified, however, that Sneiderman told them Rusty had been shot.

Meanwhile, FBI forensics expert David Freyman testified that phone calls and text messages exchanged by Sneiderman and her boss on the day of the shooting were later deleted from her Blackberry.

Interesting that the defense wants a directed verdict and the judge is considering it.

[Duchess]

FBI forensics expert David Freyman testified that phone calls and text messages exchanged by Sneiderman and her boss on the day of the shooting were later deleted from her Blackberry.

I wonder why they tried to make an issue out of that. I don't find that unusual/remarkable at all. I do it everyday, quite a few times a day and there's nothing more to it than I want to clear bs off my phone.

I don't think it's suspicious either unless Hemy's were the only ones deleted, or unless they were deleted right after Rusty was killed.

Either of those scenarios would strike me as odd.

If Sneiderman instead just deleted all of her texts in one batch and has a history of doing so, meh...

[HairOfTheDog]

It looks like Sneiderman did delete the texts between her and Neuman on the day that Rusty was murdered and other texts were not deleted.

That doesn't suggest, to me, that she was necessarily complicit in Rusty's murder, but does suggest that she may be guilty of misrepresenting the nature of their relationship to investigators.

Snip:

FBI Special Agent David Freyman testified that calls and texts to and from Andrea Sneiderman's boss, Hemy Neuman, were deleted on the day her husband was murdered.

Neuman is serving life in prison for killing Rusty Sneiderman outside a Dunwoody day care in November of 2010. Neuman and Andrea Sneiderman were reportedly having an affair.

Freyman told the court he believed communication between Neuman and Andrea Sneiderman on the day of the murder was deleted.

"Physically deleted," testified Freyman. "Why do you say that?" asked prosecutor Anna Cross.

"Because looking at the phone record in its entirety of what was recovered on the Blackberry itself, there are calls before, there are calls after and during," replied Freyman as he explained that Andrea Sneiderman's phone record showed her phone was working and she had called others on Nov. 18.

"So there are calls that are listed during that time period? Just no calls from Hemy Neuman?" asked Cross.

"Correct," testified Freyman.

"No calls to Hemy Neuman?" asked Cross.

"Correct," Freyman replied again.

[Duchess]

Yeah. That would be suspicious to only delete his & not others.

After listening to the bartender I thought they were probably intimate. She wouldn't be the first woman to manipulate a lover into killing their husband. She must have a fire crotch!

The Defense of Andrea Sneiderman

The defense called a number of character witnesses on behalf of Sneiderman and also focused on the changing stories from two key prosecution witnesses.

1. Andrea's former friend, Shayna Citron, testified for the prosecution that Andrea's marriage was essentially over and she seemed more stimulated by her boss and cold about her husband. She implied an affair (testimony which contradicts defense witness accounts that the Sneiderman marriage was a very happy one).

Yet, when Citron was originally interviewed by police, she said that the marriage had gone through a rough patch but was back on track and that Andrea would never compromise her ethics or bend the rules. The jurors heard that original interview played in court.

2. Donna Formato, the administrator of the day care center where Rusty was shot to death, reportedly made a statement to one of Andrea's friends and a police officer that Andrea collapsed in a chair when told Rusty was shot. Later, Formato said that no one mentioned that Rusty was "shot". Now, she claims that she can't recall if anyone told Andrea that Rusty was shot.

I really don't like Andrea Sneiderman. But, this seems like another weak case; I think prosecutors are likely gonna come up short in proving beyond reasonable doubt that Sneiderman committed perjury and fraud. JMO.
