Affair or not? Her husband was murdered outside a daycare after dropping their child off. Her boss is on trial for the murder, but all week the focus has been on theeir "affair". She denies it was an affair, but there are witnesses that have come forward that says otherwise. So what do you think? And just about the case in general....

[GeorgiaTornado]

I think she was playing with fire and she knew it. I don't think she thought her boss would kill her husband.

[mei lan]

Based purely on women's intuition (esp. that part where women can tell about other women), I'd say she's praying they never find enough evidence to charge her. My woman-dar (like gay-dar) went off big-time both the times I watched her testimony. I'm guessing she wasn't as stupid as that girl in Rome who put her boyfriend up to killing her husband...they were both eat up with stupid and the cops had all manner of evidence. IIRC, the only woman currently on death row in Georgia is there for getting her boyfriend to kill her husband (I believe bf turned state's evidence in exchange for a life sentence...smart boy).

ahhh Kelly Gissendaner. Someone one chose her in our class on the death row inmate and actually wrote her...and she wrote back! She didn't ask for anything in return.. no money on her books...nadda

[Mariposa]

Of course there was an affair. I think the fact that she called him when the daycare called her, shows she at least suspected that he did something, if not KNEW what was going to happen. If she was just trying to get in touch with the office, she would have called another co-worker when she didn't reach him or left a message at the office. She was trying to get in touch with HIM.

[lowrider]

I think they were having an affair. I don't think she thought he would do anything, especially kill her husband.

I think it was premeditated murder on his part, but he's trying to get off with crazy.

A bunch of lives messed up for their selfish needs.

[justgettingby]

I don't think it was a full on steamy type of affair. I think she liked the attention he gave her and she led him on.

I don't know what he's thinking with that defense. Everything I've heard points to his being calm, rational, sensible, etc. Of course, they'll have an expert or eight to say he was teh crazee at that moment, but I'm guessing the jury won't buy it.

[Curious Scorpio]

Guilty! She had an affair. The few times I've seen her testify, she's awfully dang touchy when asked about her reactions, her thinking at the time. She's pretty smarta$$, I think, for being pretty close (imho) to a murder charge, maybe accessory?

How could she not understand what this man was thinking? She worked with him. She should have known that what he said was how he felt and it was real. She should have stopped it. Those darn office romances get you every time!

[dumbestgirlintheworld]

Yeah, they were having an affair...but, I don't think it was an ideal affair for her. She liked the attention, distraction, etc. and she gave in a time or 2 while traveling.

[Starr & Dru's Nana]

Affair? Yes. Consensual? In the beginning. I think when she told him she was not leaving her husband is when he decided to kill the husband.

We stayed glued to the TV yesterday afternoon watching the trial. Unless the defense comes up with witnesses that saw Neumann acting crazy or knows he attempted suicide, I don't believe the jury will buy the "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea. The witnesses who testified yesterday seemed to have been privy to a lot of his personal life, in some cases more than they wanted to know, but not a one of them said they knew of him being depressed or suicidal.

IMO, if we're close enough for you to know that I'm having an affair and what the sex is like, you're probably close enough to me to know if I'm depressed and/or suicidal.

I actually had to feel sorry for Ms Sneiderman at one point in the testimony yesterday. She looked embarrassed when the witness shared how Mr. Neumann said Ms Sniderman went to the restroom to "finish herself" after their sexual encounter. She also looked stunned, like "how could he tell someone that??"

[Starr & Dru's Nana]

She might have tried. I got the impression he didn't like being told no and didn't like anyone telling him something he didn't want to believe or didn't want to hear. Apparently several people advised him to forget about the affair and work things out with his wife.

[Papi]

Affair yes. She is lying through her teeth to deny it.

[Mom 2-2 boys]

I have been watching this...it has been fascinating to watch..Both days when Andrea was on the witness stand,I found her to be arrogant, and rude. Even when she would lie about something,and then get shown the proof of her lies, through email or reciepts, it did not phase her.

I felt that when the real estate agent testified yesterday, she really shed alot of light on the relationship- IF SHE LEFT RUSTY, SHE WOULD DISSAPOINT HER FAMILY,and she could or would not do that. I also think it made alot of sense when she said it was a yo-yo relationship. She would give Hemy a little bit and then take it away. Why would the hotel clerk lie, when she said Andrea asked to change her room- she went from 1 occupant and 2 beds- to 2 OCCUPANTS AND 1 BED! Then there was the lady from the club, kissing, groping, ect.....

Today, Andrea's best friend on the stand- I felt so bad for her, as she was certainly uncomfortable with what she was going to say....It was obvious she did not want to hurt Andrea, but there were certain things that she said that blew me away. First, she said that she asked Andrea several times if they were having an affair, Andrea always denied it. The last time she asked her, after Rusty was shot, she admitted to the attorney, that she did NOT believe her. Then she admitted that Andrea lied to her. Right away she had told Andrea that she must give the police Hemy's name. She agreed. Then later when the friend asked if she had given Hemy's name- she lied to her bff and said she had.

She will never, ever, admit to the affair. Never.
Kinda glad they are on a break till tomorrow so I can actually get some things done around the house!

[BooRadley]

She enjoyed the attention and she was a tease; I really think she was in on it, though, and the prosecution just doesn't have enough hard evidence to prove it.

She said she didn't report him to HR because she was afraid of losing her job. REALLY? In this day and age where just about every form of communication is traceable? She could have saved emails, texts, etc as proof. She could have used her phone as a voice recorder to reord his conversations if she really wanted to prove her case.

After hearing the testimony about all of their travels (wanting chocolates and flowers waiting for her in the hotel room, him showing up supposedly unannounced on another trip, reading a love poem to her, etc) the creep factor alone would have been enough to make a person leave the job.

My guess is that Rusty kept her in a lifestyle that she wanted, so she stayed. Neumann provided her with the "other" things she wanted.

As far as I'm concerned, she's is an accomplice and is just as guilty. I just feel sorry for their kids and her husband's family.

[can't fix stupid]

Andrea testified yesterday that she didn't know Rusty was shot until she got to the hospital......relatives and friends testified that she called them on her way to the hospital and told them "Rusty has been shot"......she knew. I think that in some of their pillow talk maybe they discussed the things that would need to happen for them to be together. She refused to leave her husband so in Hemy's mind that meant the only way he was going to be with her was to kill Rusty. She knew about Hemy coming to their home in his first attempt to kill Rusty. Once that happened the threat should have seemed real to her. She had time and oppurtunity to save her husband...the father of her children. She did nothing. She may have seem flattered by the attention and then tried to back herself up from it all. The affair happened. He's crazy but not criminally insane. She should be brought up on some type of charges. At the very least perjury.

Which witness testified to this? That tells me she wasn't in the affair for the sex obviously. She liked the attention.

[Starr & Dru's Nana]

I believe this was the real estate agent who said that.

It was the real estate agent- as soon as she said it, the camera went to a shot of Andrea, and she hung her head in shame......

I heard that both Dateline and 20/20 are planning programs about this. She should cut and color her hair, go back to her maiden name and move away. I feel bad for her kids, who are going to grow up and find out the truth behind their fathers murder. Personally, I can kind of see why she will never admit it. I could not imagine engaging in conduct that led indirectly or directly to someones death, and for it to be the father of my kids? My husband?

You guys have seen this woman and are questioning whether ol' Hemy is sane? This gal would make a rabbit hug a hound.

I thought that was what you were talking about but I don't understand the pineapple. Seems like a banana would be more appropriate for some reason.

Now it's getting tricky, she said she didnt know how her husband was hurt when she got the call to come to the daycare, but her father in law said, she called and told him, he had been shot. Getting interesting!!!!

I agree.

[mei lan]

Neuman's ex-wife has/had a PI looking into everything as well, so he may have given something about her to the prosecution that nobody knows about.

[2witty4u]

Anyone know what channel this trial is being televised on Comcast? thanks.

[GeorgiaTornado]

211 on comcast

Can't watch TV while working.

[BooRadley]

I've been following via the ajc website. According to them, Andrea made contact (against court rules) with her friend that testified yesterday to tell her that she was no longer her friend.

So the prosecution and defense motioned to ban her from the courthouse and the judge agreed. She really is a piece of work.

For those of you that can't find the channel on Comcast or DirectTV, the ajc has a link where you can watch it live.

GOOD HEAVENS. This chick is going to do herself in legally. What a complete DWEEB. I note in the latest AJC article that Sneiderman's family is now weighing in on her suspect behavior since Rusty's death.

[Thoughts]

I usually don't weigh in on such matters but after seeing her antics in court, I say she's a manipulative little bitch...
