when he comes, i think he is real. he also says he think he saw an angel who sounded like olivia newton john. the angel s message? it was as out there as the vision itself. according to hemy newman, the angel assigned him a deadly mission. andrea s children, the angel told him, were at risk from rusty sneiderman. and was his duty to kill rusty to eliminate the threat. he thought he was doing the right thing, because he thought he was saving the children from the same kind of trauma that he had. but the prosecution painted a very different picture of him. you are saying he s faking, he s running a number. without question. he was probably the smartest person in that courtroom. the prosecutor told the jury that hemy had lied about his hallucinations to get away with murder. and that the defense experts had fallen for it. if he lied to you about that
how had andrea known that fact that rusty had been shot, if no one had told her yet? and perhaps most perplexing of all, within minutes of being told that something had happened to rusty, andrea had dialed and redialed her boss. her husband who she had believed was involved in an accident? how many times did you call rusty? zero times. and a demeanor issue for the widow, the jurors heard a tape of andrea being told six weeks after her husband was shot that police had made an arrest. are you serious? did andrea know beforehand who the shooter was? according to a friend, andrea had confided in her that she thought hemy newman resembled the police sketch. if she had any suspicion hemy was involved, why hadn t she told police? she kept seeing hemy s face
delusion, than everything in your report is off the table? you are wrong? that is correct. the prosecutor called a parade of witnesses to the stand, his work colleagues who had seen him every day. did you ever see anything that made you question his mental stability? no, not at all. have you ever observed him when he thought he was hallucinating? no. according to the prosecution s own expert witness, it would have been impossible for hemy to have covered up such a serious mental illness. there is going to be some evidence somewhere of a marked impairment. nor would somebody so unstable have been able to methodically plot out not only the crime, but the covering of his tracks, as hemy did. this was just another project for him. i ve got a problem, i m going to approach is like an engineer, how do i resolve the problem? he mathematically solved his problem. during the jailhouse interview, hemy explained to the prosecution psychiatrist.
husband. that was the message rusty sneiderman s wife was sending the defense. and the defense promised to prove to the jury that the inter turmoil that these mixed signals stirred up in hemy newman was enough to push this mild mannered but troubled man over the edge and into the realm of legal insanity. coming up i had been kicked, i ve been slapped, i ve been whipped. and those things you do not forget. haunting secrets from hemy s past. and a question did celebrity voices drive him to kill? when dateline continues. so you re always ready for the unexpected. cetaphil. we do skin. you do you.
