Reading these with interest, I wanted to comment on something I have not heard discussed. I think a large part of why criminals are not prosecuted vigorously, is because there is not room in all of the jails and prisons to house them. When you look at not only the amount of crimes, but the...

Personally I have always thought that his choice to commit the murder - finishing Rusty off at close range, in broad daylight and at a day care center showed that he was at that point somewhat mentally deranged. I don't buy the long-standing bi-polar/bad childhood defense, nor the idea that he...

I agree with the spirit here, and also with Sunny Hostin's declaration of Andrea on the stand was: "She was a train wreck ... you dreaded watching her but you couldn't take your eyes off of her." We have to bear in mind, though, that whether she is "unlikable" or not, or even if she's proven...

I know this was for SpeakerDave but IIRC the judge ordered her to remain under house arrest with her parents; I don't recall him specifying which house or if there is more than one house. The gist of the ruling seems to indicate she's allowed out of jail but is not allowed to live alone (with...

Thanks for your comments above...the fact that this fellow was mentioned in connection with the State's motion for discovery led me to believe that this is something more than an innocent friendship. And I don't remember him ever being mentioned before, when the original indictment against her...

I was reading this and the thought struck me that this man does not want publicity or scrutiny, but he writes in a blog. And if I was his wife I would question, too, why Andrea could not change a light bulb herself. I'm sorry but it just seems too pat and contrived. So his remarks about how...

I scanned over the discovery document - exhaustive! - and did not find any reference to him on there. If she was having an affair with him, I'd think there would be some kind of electronic evidence seeing that she was so out there with Hemy with their extensive phone and e-mail back and...

I located the PDF Motion for Discovery and here it is: http://pdfserver.amlaw.com/dailyreport/Editorial/PDF/SneidermanMotionforDiscovery.pdf

Here is another article related to the specific discovery evidence following a search warrant issued on Andrea's home 4 days after the conviction of HN: http://www.atlawblog.com/2012/09/dekalb-da-lists-evidence-in-sneiderman-prosecution/

Yes.... who is this so-called "mystery man" Joseph Deli.....and how in the world are we going to get around that gag order? Does anybody here have a clue about why Andrea would be repeatedly calling this man while she was in jail, or how he and his wife's divorce would factor into this...

I guess my point about being truly religious or spiritual relates to living out the beliefs and tenants of the faith, even if imperfectly. Often faith ethics go beyond social ethics if observed properly. At the very least, we can assume she broke some of the most basic commandments of Judaism...

I think I asked you questions before about Andrea's so-called "religosity" and you responded that although she attended services and etc., she was not particularly religious or even spiritual. Interesting comment about what can be inferred from her wanting to attend Yom Kippur - the high holy...

I'm with you in that it would not be right, nor just, to convict a person without evidence. I don't know if my "top 5" pieces of "evidence" would be sufficient to overcome the reasonable doubt. Her behavior is certainly suspicious, and if they can prove the affair beyond a doubt she can be...

I agree with you on so many points here, and I never like to rush to judgment. IMO sometimes in trials what is NOT said, things attorneys fight to keep out, etc., catches my attention as much or as more as the testimonies or the attorneys' arguments. There has been so much bizarre behavior...

Here's a link that describes under what circumstances an executor can be removed from a will. Apparently it is rather difficult after the testator (Rusty) is deceased. http://law.freeadvice.com/estate_planning/wills/removing-executor-of-will.htm One circumstance is "conflict of interest"...

Put in your context it does make more sense. However, IIRC, executors do carry authority and weight, since they are legally appointed to do so. That's simple, so why would Andrea object to Steve being the executor if his duty is to just "move through probate"? Upon reviewing the...

The more I hear play-backs of Andrea's testimony (with her arrogant attitude), the more I learn about the quality of her relationship with HN (dangle and snatch) and the more pictures I see of her, the more I think that HN must have been a bit unhinged when he got involved with her. I see...

What I find interesting is that Rusty designated his brother as executor instead of his wife. Having worked for probate attorneys, I was familiar with the basic will template which appointed a spouse as executor; then the will would reflect "In the event my spouse should predecease me, I hereby...

I disagree heartily with the assessment that the jury could not have found DP guilty without the hearsay evidence. First of all, I'm personally sick of hearing the word "heresay" and I wish they would refer to it as the "victims' evidence", as it was the two deceased women who testified in...

Just a quick comment about the hearsay. In this particular law (the so-called "Drew's Law") hearsay is NOT just a he-said, she-said matter. From what I understand (listening to Judge White's explanation), hearsay CAN be allowed when the witness is deceased BECAUSE the defendant is suspected...
