DECATUR, Ga. (AP) — Jurors resumed deliberations after watching interviews of a corporate engineer who claims he was insane when he killed a toddler’s father outside a suburban Atlanta preschool.
Jurors went back to discussing Hemy Neuman‘s case after looking at about two hours of interviews a mental health expert did with Neuman.
Neuman’s attorneys say he couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong when he killed Russell Sneiderman on November 2010. They say Sneiderman’s wife Andrea took advantage of his deteriorating mental state to convince him to kill her husband.
Prosecutors contend jealousy drove Neuman to kill, not a “contrived” mental illness.
The 49-year-old Neuman could face life in prison if found guilty of murder. He would become a ward of the state if found not guilty by reason of insanity.
