Sneiderman Murder Charges Withdrawn
Implicated in the killing of her husband by former East Cobb resident Hemy Neuman, she still faces perjury and other charges.
By Patch Assistant Regional Editor Tim Darnell
The three most serious charges against Andrea Sneiderman were formally withdrawn during a Friday afternoon pre-trial hearing, but it's up to DeKalb Superior Court Judge Gregory Adams to allow it.
DeKalb DA Robert James asked the court to drop the malice murder and aggravated assault charges against Sneiderman, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
If Adams allows the charges to be dropped, Sneiderman would still go on trial beginning Monday, facing four counts of perjury, seven counts of making false statements and one count each of hindering the apprehension of a criminal.
Each charge carries maximum sentences ranging from five to 10 years in prison, according to the AJC.
Sneiderman was facing murder charges in connection with the shooting death of her husband. Her former boss, former East Cobb resident Hemy Neuman, was found guilty, but insane, of shooting Rusty Sneiderman outside a Dunwoody daycare in 2010, a story that was reported first on Dunwoody Patch.
