Dunwoody Prep Shooting: Neuman Pre-Trial Hearing Set for May 5

Earlier this month, Hemy Neuman pleaded 'not guilty' to charges stemming from murder of Russell ‘Rusty’ Sneiderman, the man Neuman is accused of shooting outside of a Dunwoody day care.

In that same hearing, Neuman’s attorney asked for an extension on the normal 10 days that are normally given to file pre-trial motions.

Douglas Peters asked that the court grant a longer period in which the file the motions, as there are more than 6,200 pages of discovery or evidence to read through.

Judge Gregory Adams granted the extension, giving the defense 30 days to make their pre-trial motions. Adams made clear at the April 4 hearing that he does not like letting cases drag on in court.

Pre-trial motions are used to suppress statements, request for dismissal or throw out evidence. Those motions have not been filed yet with the court.

Wednesday, Peters said he expects to file the defense team's pre-trial motions, but declined to discuss any of the issues raised in those motions.

"From the beginning, we've tried to be careful about not discussing any substantiave issues in the case," he said.

Next Thursday, a pretrial hearing has been set for Neuman. The pretrial hearing is about scheduling matters for Neuman's case – the trial and other hearings associated with the case.

Neuman, 48, of East Cobb, is accused shooting Russell ‘Rusty’ Sneiderman 36, on Nov. 18 outside of Dunwoody Prep, a daycare in Dunwoody Village. Sneiderman had just dropped off one of his children at the school when he was shot multiple times at close range by his assailant.
