The jury finds Hemy Neuman guilty, but mentally ill of malice murder.  He was found guilty on a second charge, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.  Neuman, wearing a blue sweater, stared motionless as the verdict was being read.

Judge Gregory Adams sentenced Neuman to life without parole for count 1 and then gave him an additional five years for count 2.

"This appeared...for lack of a better term, a planned execution of this individual and at least I could not hear any justification on what this gentleman, Mr. Sneiderman, did to provoke this type of result," said Adams.

Neuman spoke at the sentencing.

"I am so, so, so sorry I can't say it enough.  I can't say it enough to all of you to the precious children, all five of them, to the Sneidermans, to the Greenbergs, my parents, tthe family, friends and community at large. I am sorry from the deepest part of me," said Neuman.

The jury, made up of nine women and three men, was given the case Tuesday late in the afternoon.

Rusty Sneiderman was killed outside a Dunwoody day care facility in November 2010.

During closing arguments, DeKalb District Attorney Robert James took direct aim at Andrea Sneiderman to show that Neuman was not insane when he shot and killed her husband.

"He's not crazy," James told the jury.  "He's a co-conspirator."

James told jurors that Andrea Sneiderman lied because "she was either trying to protect him or protect them both.  There is nothing hard about this.  This isn't manipulation.  This is cahoots.  This is conspiracy."

James also spoke to the jury about Neuman's claim that a demon told him to commit the crime.

"Either the angel and the demon were talking to Hemy, telling Hemy to kill Rusty," James says, "or it was the demon he was sleeping with.  The demon he was cheating with or the demon he was taking trips with."

In the end, James asked jurors to "see Hemy Neuman for what he really is."

"A malingering, lying, murderous coward.  A twisted little man that does not have the courage to answer for what he has done."

The widow of Russell "Rusty" Sneiderman, the victim in the Dunwoody day care murder, has retained two Atlanta lawyers to "counsel her as a witness and victim" in the trial of Neuman in the Superior Court of DeKalb County.

Sneiderman was the target of both the defense and the prosecution during Neuman's trial, with District Attorney Robert James calling her a co-conspirator in the death of her husband.

Jennifer Little served as Senior Assistzant District Attorney in DeKalb until recently.  Doug Chakmers is the founder of the Political Law Group, of which Little is a member.

Sneiderman will also continue to employ Seth Kirschenbaum, who represented her before and during Neuman's trial.
