DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Jurors are deliberating the fate of a corporate engineer who claims he was insane when he fatally shot a toddler’s father outside a suburban Atlanta preschool.
The jury returned Wednesday morning to discuss Hemy Neuman‘s case. Jurors deliberated for about 15 minutes on Tuesday before being sent home.
Neuman’s attorneys say he couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong when he killed Russell Sneiderman on November 2010 outside a Dunwoody, Ga., preschool. They say Sneiderman’s wife Andrea took advantage of his deteriorating mental state and convinced him to kill her husband.
Prosecutors contend that jealousy drove Neuman to commit the crime, not a “contrived” mental illness.
The 49-year-old Neuman could face life in prison without parole if convicted.
