GUILTY GA - Rusty Sneiderman shot to death at Dunwoody preschool, 18 Nov 2010 #1

[Gozgals]

It is primarily a sense of loyalty, my current boss has been very good to me, he is intelligent, logical, he takes care of his employees, I honestly care about his well-being and I would not choose to do something that could ruin him.

The financial aspect is secondary, but yes a consideration. If the boss is the head of the company (usually is in my case, i like small or mid sized companies) taking them down means seriously damaging (or destroying) the organization, putting yourself and all your coworkers in a bad position, and intentionally wiping out the very thing you have all worked to create.

It may seem easy to judge everything in black or white, but reality is usually personal and complicated and many shades of gray. Many people in a similar situation would consider it carefully before taking action (especially if it was just a remote possibility/suspicion), others would just go into denial and not consider it at all if that is more comfortable and less morally offensive for them.

With all due respect, I still do not understand and may not be reading this statement correctly. Why would one not turn their boss in for murder is what I want to know?

I wouldn't care about loyalty, his/her company, etc. I wouldn't care about finances. It would be an obligation to the public and the victim to ID the boss if one knew they may be involved with a murder. I don't see any gray areas at all. I am really trying hard to understand.

Thanks

WHOA!! Just speechless, again. First of all, huge kudos to the very talented artist who did the sketch-- it was very well done and looks EXACTLY like him. How could she do this so incredibly accurately without a photo, just from a brief glimpse from a witness??? It's quite amazing.
And how could everyone not notice the boss right away, as soon as they saw the sketch? And what would possess someone to do this in broad daylight, in front of many witnesses, with your face uncovered....??? I just can't comprehend the whole thing. A person would have to be either insane or woefully out of touch with reality, to think you could pull something like this off.... And he's a normal divorced father with kids???? Something must have happened to make him really snap... And, he's the wife's BOSS.........?? WTH??

Hindsight is wonderful, isn't it? You know that when you look at the sketch you're looking at the boss and you see the boss... but back when everyone DIDN'T know the sketch was of the boss, it's a heck of a lot harder to see... especially with the beard throwing them off.

It's so easy to come out now that the identity is know to say how obvious the likeness it is... but not at the beginning when people are upset, scared, nervous and confused about what's going on.

I would say that is most likely true if the people had never seen a person that looked like the suspect.

I am very much an outsider and always thought his beard was fake so I envisioned him without a beard right away.

So I just cant see how someone who worked side by side with this guy didn't see the remarkable resemblance right away.

snipped from Southcitymom's post above:

"Neuman, 48, supervised his alleged victim's wife at GE Energy. Peters would not elaborate on the extent of his his client's relationship with Andrea Sneiderman, an engineering manager, though a company spokesman said they worked together often. According to Dunwoody police, Rusty Sneiderman also knew his alleged killer"

http://www.ajc.com/news/dekalb/dunwoody-day-care-killing-812847.html?cxtype=rss_news

I don't know why this surprised me when I first read it. I guess it makes sense that Rusty would have been familiar with his wife's supervisor.

Yeah - I don't think it's odd - I've known all my husband's supervisors.

I continue to wonder what sort of evidence they have on Neuman - his resembling the sketch doesn't impress me much without the van and/or gun.

Slightly different article.

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/26787669/detail.html

“They had been separated awhile before the murder,” said Esther Panitch, who exclusively told Channel 2’s Mike Petchenik the couple has been married for 22 years. Police said Neuman had been living in Buckhead, not at his family’s Marietta home at the time of his January arrest.

Panitch told Petchenik the allegations against the 48-year-old father of three were “shocking” to Ariela Neuman.

“She, as well as the children, has been stunned by the allegations and the indictment which came down today,” she said.

and:


Petchenik asked Panitch whether Ariela Neuman wanted to pass along any thoughts to Rusty Sneiderman’s family.

“Mrs. Neuman and her children feel a great deal of compassion for the Sneiderman children,” said Panitch, declining to include Andrea Sneiderman in her statement.

Ariela sounds POed at Andrea Sneiderman...fuel for the fire. Wonder if she has a good reason or just suspicions?

Victim's wife speaks out:

Thanks for the updates. This case is what brought me to this site.

Apparently the prosecutors and courts have decided this will all be very hush hush, pc, and handled with kidd gloves. Most people accused of murder are not handled so gently.

We will probably have to wait for the trial transcripts to be public record before any real evidence comes out.

Well CTV/IS/TruTV has aired many trials in Georgia so maybe they will air this one when it comes to trial.

From above links, it appears the suspect was a "friend of the family," in addition to being Andrea's boss. As the estranged wife of the suspect indicated her family "feel a great deal of compassion for the Sneiderman children"........................my bet is, a business deal gone bad.

It'll be interesting to see what the motive is.

Wonder why she didnt include Andrea.:waitasec:

 

[SuziQ]

Maybe Andrea was fooling around with her husband. That would make me not speak her name.

 

[fran]

It's not that they just did NOT include Andrea, but the rest of the Sneiderman family as well. It seems they only stated the innocent children.

Rusty was involved with investments, start-up, million$ could be involved. Plus other new ventures as well. This guy is an 'engineer.'

I think it's a business deal gone awry.

[robinparten]

the fact that the police are being so closed-mouthed about this make me think they believe the wife could be involved, if it was a business deal gone bad, why in the world not just say so? If the wife is not involved I feel sorry for her, because a cloud of suspicion is over her.
