The judge presiding over Andrea Sneidermans upcoming murder trial has forbidden the Dunwoody widow from having any contact with a man prosectors say is her live-in boyfriend.
Prosecutors added Joseph Dell to their witness list nearly two weeks ago, creating a conflict for Sneiderman, who is charged with conspiring with former boss, Hemy Neuman, to kill her husband in November 2010.
Sneidermans attoey, Tom Clegg, said Dell provides invaluable assistance to his client, who is under house arrest. But she is not allowed to interact with any potential witnesses, and DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gregory Adams ruling doesnt allow for any exception.
DeKalb Chief Assistant District Attoey Don Geary said in court recently there is evidence that Sneiderman had her husband, Rusty, shot to death not for Mr. Neuman to be with the defendant, but someone else Dell.
Clegg, who described Dell as a close friend of Sneidermans, called the allegation an incredible fantasy.
Sneiderman and Dell were together Aug. 2 at Lake Oconee when the mother of two was arrested in connection with her husbands murder, according to a recent motion filed by Esther Panitch, who represents Rusty Sneidermans brother in a wrongful death suit filed against his sister-in-law.
Panitchs filing also referenced taped jailhouse conversations in which Dell, apparently unaware that he was being recorded, professed his love for Sneiderman.
The exact status of their relationship is best described as to be determined, Clegg said in court Nov. 16.
Rusty Sneiderman was fatally shot in the parking lot of Dunwoody Prep in November 2010. Neuman was found guilty but mentally ill earlier this year and sentenced to life in prison. Andrea Sneiderman testified in his trial, during which prosecutors portrayed him as her lover.
She has denied any involvement in her husbands death.
