DECATUR, Ga. – Prosecutors say the Georgia woman accused of hindering the investigation into her husband's shooting death had a forbidden romance with her boss, who was convicted in the slaying.
Prosecutor Kellie Hill made the arguments during her opening statement Monday in the trial of Andrea Sneiderman, who is accused of lying under oath and hindering the investigation into her husband's death.
Sneiderman's husband, Rusty Sneiderman, was fatally shot in November 2010 outside a suburban Atlanta preschool. Andrea Sneiderman's former boss Hemy Neuman was convicted in the killing, but he was found mentally ill.
Prosecutors initially said Sneiderman arranged her husband's killing, but murder charges against her were dropped. She now faces charges of making false statements, hindering an investigation and perjury.
Sneiderman has pleaded not guilty and has repeatedly denied any romantic relationship with Neuman.
