I have kept an open mind thus far, but the evidence is increasing at a dramatic rate. Andrea has too much dependence on Hemy for just being a boss/coworker. If my husband had any accident, I would immediately try his cell phone. I would also call my office, but I would leave a message with a secretary. 6 telephone calls in such a short time span to Hemy is excessive.

No man repeatedly proposes marriage and continuously pursues another individual over an extended period of time without encouragement and escalation in the relationship. He sent her wine and chocolates, which is grossly inappropriate for any business dynamic. At the minimum, It is clear that Andrea and Hemy had an "emotional affair" and I think a romantic relationship as well.

Andrea is clearly not being honest and deceptive with her responses. In my opinion, she is defiant and embarrassed because of her affair and the ramifications of the evidence being disclosed by every media outlet. On a different note, Andrea admitted to knowing that Hemy murdered her husband and failed to report it to the police. Why did she protect Hemy? She didn't seem to want justice for her husband who she supposedly liked and possibly loved... Of course Andrea is unhappy!! While plenty of people have affairs and get caught, most non-famous adulterous people don't have the evidence streamed on the internet and in the news. If you don't want to get caught, then don't engage in an adulterous relationship....

Andrea's testimony seems completely contrived. She has come across as an arrogant person who didn't care about the fact that her husband was murdered. Her flip answers of "yup" and "nope" make me want to puke. Her testimony also that after the shooting she left the daycare and drove home and didn't call Rusty because "there was no time to call Rusty" is sickening. I have always felt that Andrea was behind the murder. Her testimony over the past few days has only served to reinforce this belief. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the state and the district attorney's office will go back and review her testimony when all is said and done to see if they have a reason to try her for perjury and possibly for the murder of her husband. I also wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company that paid out the $2 million claim to Andrea has a representative sitting in on the trial proceedings to see whether they have a claim to take the money back.

That money should go to Rusty's innocent children with Rusty's parents or family serving as the trustee on their behalf. Her ability to lie in the face of the obvious is disturbing. The DA's office should certainly consider a perjury charge against her. I agree with Mike about her flippant answers of "yup" and "nope". The way she has conducted herself on the stand is just embarrassing to watch. Rusty's family must be all the more stricken with grief after hearing this, as if it could hurt more, but I'm sure it does. They might not be able to pin a murder or conspiracy charge on her in a criminal case, but based on her performance on the stand I think she would fare poorly if a wrongful death case were filed against her.

And, at least with a wrongful death, case, the burden of proof is be a preponderance of the evidence and not by a reasonable doubt. I don't think there would be too much difficulty finding her responsible by a preponderance of the evidence in a civil suit; nor do I think the state would have difficulty charging her with perjury and proving it beyond a reasonable doubt on the issue of the affair. She's just not a very sympathetic figure.

Debbie, I agree with you. She is not sympathetic at all! The people on the live blog that stated she is sympathetic must be watching a different trial than what you and I are watching. I also agree the money should go to the children. I am not 100% certain, however I think the insurance company can deny the entire claim if AS was involved in a conspiracy and the policy was taken out shortly before the murder. Something tells me that if the policy has not been in force for 2 years then it's possible that nobody, including the kids, would get the cash but I'm not 100% certain about this. Nonetheless, her performance (and in my mind it is no doubt just that-a staged performance) has been disgusting.

I think it would be interesting for one of the lawyers (it doesn't matter which at this point!) to ask Andrea Sneiderman why, in her opinion, Hemy killed her husband.

BTW, I find it odd that CNN.com isn't following the case AT ALL, Nancy Grace is ignoring it, Fox News has a total of two stories (one from last year, one from yesterday), ABC News has a story today that is extremely favorable toward Andrea Sneiderman. I haven't continued to look at other sites, it's just odd that some major outlets that usually jump on any little story and blow it up, are ignoring this one or spinning favorably for AS. This is in CNN's home base for heaven's sake. If they ignored all scandalous stories, then I'd not mention it. I can't help but wonder why it is being ignored.

Marie- I think Andrea might have answered that question when she accused Hemy of stalking & being obsessed with her. Andrea seems more bizarre than Hemy. Andrea encouraged Hemy's advances in emails and text messages, indicated that she will repent for her actions from a business trip for the rest of her life, dirty danced with him, & etc.. Considering these factors, Hemy was logical in assuming that they had a romantic relationship. Andrea is behaving in a guilty manner, and she is a bad actress. She described herself as wholesome. If an innocent man was not murdered, I would be laughing at Andrea's description of herself.

Danny-I agree with your assessment about Andrea being bizarre. I thought the same thing to myself, especially during Tuesday's testimony where she was describing the hidden trail behind her house and how only somebody stalking her for months could know about that. That's just one example of many. What I found bizarre during these portions of her testimony were her facial expressions and her tone of voice. She almost seemed child-like. She's a strange bird, no doubt. Again, in agreement with you, were it not for the fact that an innocent man was murdered I might find some comic relief in her disposition. As it stands, her strange demeanor was sickening, along with the curt "yup" and "nope" answers she repeatedly gave as if she was pissed that she had to testify against the man who killed her husband. I guess when you have to be in court rather than out spending $2 mill in life insurance proceeds, a widow might be a little bitter.

Marie-I've also wondered why Nancy Grace wouldn't be covering this. This case seems right up her alley.

Nancy Grace is interested in women and children victims, not so much men, in my opinion. Especially a man killed by a man.

My understanding is several of the "magazine" type news shows, Dateline, 20-20 etc, are in the courtroom covering this for longer pieces.

Also, there is no "who dunnit" here. Neuman has confessed. Grace likes to spend her show shrieking at her guests as they throw out possible solutions to mysteries.

I agree with you all here. I think this whole trial is trying to get Andrea to implicate herself so they can bring charges up against her. I suspect she has been lying since the murder in her depositions and now the lawyers are setting a trap. She seems to be falling right into it. As far as Hemy we know he is guilty but what if he turns state evidence on her. This could get quite interesting. Does any one know if Andrea maintains a relationship with Rusty's family ? That could be quite telling.

I saw a reporter on a local program (11 at 7) who said that the families are NOT speaking to one another. I think this is very telling - maybe they know something not known by the rest of the public. They have been incredibly silent since last year and have only made some cryptic remarks like that they know something more but are waiting for the trial for everything to come out. They probably want custody of the children and have been advised not to jeopardize anything by talking. The reporter said that it was very interesting to watch the families sitting very near to one another considering they weren't speaking.

I agree with what everyone has written so far. Her behaviour is very unusual for a person who was not involved in this. This is a murder based on a classic love triangle. I know sure if I got a call about a loved one and they had a cell phone, I would be dialing like mad to get a hold of them and make sure that they were ok. She is very guilty... just connect the dots...

I knew Andrea years ago. The Andrea I see on the stand is the same one I knew- it's more important to her to appear to be perfect than it is to get justice for Rusty. She is a narcissist and was when I knew her. She has been arrogant on the stand because you know what narcissists do when exposed? They get angry. She is seething on the stand.

I really believe that Andrea is the mastermind behind this murder. She wanted the insurance money and manipulated her infatuated boss to do her dirty work. I really hope that the prosecutors will be able to prove that she is involved and that she get a conviction. That type of women make me sick.

Some of you really need to stop watching CSI or Law and Order.

Paula: you wouldn't see the truth if it bit you. Your friend A is a cold blooded killer. She even had the man over the night before the murder--supposdedly to work on a project after coming off a vacation. Nobody believes that and non of her co-workers conduct business that way with H.N. No, this lady is guilty and it will continue to come out. She set herself up by volunteering info that the prosecutor and lead defense attorney did not even ask. And, she talked to much and so did H. They are the worst dumb killers I have ever seen. However, A. is the worst--she is the face of evil and she use H.N. because he like some "old" men couldn't get enough of a young thing!

Deborah, I don't know the lady, never met the lady, but some of you are venturing into dangerous and libelous territory here.

Did you see the news: even investigative reports from the majors are raising the same questions and speculating along the same lines. There must be something giving rise to all this speculation--I wonder! Personally, I kept an open opinion about this case until it went to trial. I am dumbfounded about the info that has come from Mrs. S. mouth. My sympathy is with R.'s parents, children and all those who loved him. If this is upsetting to you, I am sorry! But, there is one person who is no longer here, and whatever that truth is--I hope that it will give shine through like the noon day hour!

You have that much cash and you're worried about getting fired?

My heart goes out to Rusty's parents, and those children. I hope justice is served and Hemy gets what he deserves, and that is not a mental hospital, and IF Andrea is involved, I hope she gets convicted, and her children get raised by Rusty's parents. She doesn't deserve them anyway, a mother should think more of her children than she seems to care. Seems like she cared more for money, and her sex life. IF her children were that much worry, she shouldn't have had any to begin with. They didn't ask to be born. Poor children. I say the kids should get insurance money placed in a trust for them for when they grow up. Andrea has enough money.

I agree Joyce. Both have a narcissistic mentality. A sign should read: Buyer Beware! However, A. appeared more fragile and off her rocker than H. Again, my heart and prayers are with R.'s children, the family, and friends of R.

I agree with several of the comments here. I think the prosecutor and the defense team have set a trap for her. I wouldn't be surprised to see the prosecutor bring charges against her after this trial is over, after they have her boxed in on her story and her answers. They say a good attorney never asks a question that he doesn't already know the answer to. I found the DA's question to Andrea earlier this week about did she receive a email or text from Hemy stating that he was at a gun show a very interesting question. Andrea emphatically denied receiving anything like that and said she would have definitely remembered a message referencing a gun show. The prosecutor followed up to pin her down. I have to believe the prosecutor already had the information in hand to prove his claim and my guess is that this will come out later in the trial.

Regarding the defense, I believe they are positioning Hemy to turn state's evidence and cut a better deal if his insanity defense doesn't work. How crazy would it be if Hemy springs an audio tape of himself and a "co-conspirator" discussing the murder? I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.

I agree Mike. There is definitely more to come. I wondered about the "gun show" too!

I agree Melesia, I believe that is exactly what will happen. The DA is gonna want to put Andrea away for this too. I wish they had court on the weekend. Come on 9:00 can't wait for the truth to come out. I wish I was on that jury.

Yes, the one time in my life I would like to be on a jury and I don;t live in Dekalb!! She will go down, I would bet moeny on it.

And.....Who in the world who is athe victim's spouse hangs around the court hassling people called to testify? Where is her attorney during all these antics? Did he know she would potentially give conflicting statements? I am betting they have the goods on her and he day is coming. Sure appears she has forgotten the victim and her own kids. An absolutely pathetic person...
