"Role of widow examined in shooting" March 16, 2012
DECATUR, Ga. - A corporate engineer who fawned over a female subordinate was found guilty but mentally ill Thursday of shooting the woman’s husband to death in an ambush outside a suburban Atlanta preschool.
After a judge sentenced Hemy Neuman to life in prison without parole for killing Russell Sneiderman, prosecutors shifted their attention to Sneiderman’s wife. They have suggested Andrea Sneiderman was a “coconspirator’’ in the slaying, goading a love-struck Neuman into killing her husband, perhaps for a $2 million life insurance policy.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys for Neuman said he was having an affair with Andrea Sneiderman, although she repeatedly denied those allegations. She also has said she had nothing to do with the killing.
When pressed about whether charges were imminent, DeKalb District Attorney Robert James said: “Stay tuned.’’
“It’s something we’re looking at,’’ James said. “I know it’s important to this family. It’s important to America. But as a prosecutor I have an obligation to follow the facts . . . and make a decision that seeks justice.’’
That would be a first here in AmeriKa.

ATLANTA - Hundreds of school systems nationwide exhibit suspicious test scores that point to the possibility of cheating, according to an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The newspaper examined test results for 70,000 public schools and found high concentrations of scores in school systems from coast to coast. The analysis does not prove cheating. It reveals that scores in hundreds of cities followed a pattern that, in Atlanta, indicated cheating in multiple schools."
