Tonight on 20/20 ` Jack Tame meets the Kiwi Hugh Hefner,... When I ran the strip club, there was 1600 girls. ...now a Vegas VIP... Vegas is a crazy place. ...cashing in on girls, gold and guns. This is terrifying. GUNFIRE Then ` an eating disorder that makes her eat rocks. What's that do to your teeth? What's that do to your teeth? Doesn't hurt 'em. And this little girl. I eat, um, a light bulb. And an obsessed boss who says he was directed to kill his employee's husband by angels and demons who sounded like Olivia Newton John and Barry White. And that makes him guilty, that makes him guilty, that makes him guilty all day and every day. But is there more to this, and is the grieving wife actually a black widow? Captions by TVNZ Captioning.

Girls, guns and goldmines ` that's a standard day at the office for Las Vegas-based Kiwi businessman Genghis Cohen. Now, he couldn't run his particular business back here home, as much as he'd like to, mainly because it's a luxury machine gun range where fully automatic weapons are served up by gorgeous girls. Jack Tame explains. # Turn all the lights on... Las Vegas, Nevada, a desert strip crawling with tourists and touts, aglow with neon tack. # Take of your shoes, shoes, shoes. Ain't nobody going to see nothing. # Bring out the booze, booze, booze... The top businesspeople in the world, celebrities and royalty come here. # And I ain't gotta go to work no more... The city synonymous with sin, sex and celebrity,... # I'm going hard... # When I ran the strip club, there were 1600 girls working for me. It` When I ran the strip club, there were 1600 girls working for me. It` Come on! > Seriously, we had 1600 girls working at the club. ...is also home to a farm boy from the Hibiscus Coast,... I don't know if I'd call it the playboy life. I mean, it's definitely entertaining. Genghis Cohen, businessman Las Vegas entrepreneur. From a childhood in Orewa, north of Auckland, he's now the proud owner of a booming business he could never have started back home. # American woman, # stay away from me... # The guys love the fact that they've got this gorgeous girl teaching them how to shoot a machine gun. They just... They love it. This is Genghis Cohen's latest Las Vegas lark ` an indoor gun range, where the uniform can include holsters and hot pants. This is definitely fully automatic. For a lot of guys, it's kind of the fantasy girl. She's a machine-gun girl, she looks great in a bikini, and the majority of my girls are quite tattooed, so a lot of guys like that too. Gorgeous girls and guns ` for Genghis Cohen, it was always going to be a winning combination. I don't know if I'm terrified or drunk with power. Meet Jackie Carrizosa,... GUNFIRE ...22 years old, part-time veterinary student, part-time machine-gun-range master. How heavy is that? How heavy is that? Uh, about 22 pounds. And a quick Google will reveal she's also a bikini model. # I'm on the floor, floor. I love to dance. So give me more, more... # I like dangerous stuff, like demolition and stuff like that, and I'm a huge adrenalin junkie, so anything that, like, gets your blood pumping. After several years as a gunner working on an aircraft carrier in the US Navy, Jackie Carrizosa moved back to Vegas to work here. You put your trigger finger straight. She's proficient in handling firearms that in most countries would be illegal. How do you write a job advertisement for something like that? We would have girls show up for, uh, positions that were more like of a promotional modelling position, and then we'd start talking to the girls, and they'd go, 'Oh, yeah, I was in the Navy,' or, 'Oh, yeah, I was in the Army,' or, 'I'm a wounded warrior.' And, you know, 'Really? OK.' So it actually ended up being easier than we thought it would be. OK, so, what targets can we shoot? OK, so, what targets can we shoot? OK, so we've got the guy robbing the girl... And before I've even touched a gun, she has a well-known face in the firing line. And then we've got Osama. You've got Osama? You've got Osama? Yeah. You've got Osama? Yeah. You know he's dead already, eh? (GIGGLES) Everybody likes killing him over again. (GIGGLES) Everybody likes killing him over again. How popular is Osama? Uh, he actually sold out for a little while, and then we had to order in a lot more. (LAUGHS) Even kids like shooting him. They pick him too ` like, we're, like, 'OK, pick a target,' and they're, like, 'That one.' With a few minutes of training,... So this one has a grip safety, OK? ...I'm allowed to take aim and fire a pistol. This one? This one? Are you ready? This one? Are you ready? As ready I'll probably ever be. GUNFIRE You got him. Do you accept that this glamorises guns? Uh, it does. It definitely does. But I think guns are glamorised anyway. That glamour is taking Jackie to some unexpected places. Copy, Sir. When the director of Rihanna's first movie, Battleship, was looking for someone to help train the pop star, he found Jackie Carrizosa. I watched her, and I really just lived and breathed in her mindset. Last year, she spent a month in Hawaii, effectively training Rihanna how to be a little more hard-core. Hey! Hey! GUNFIRE So, is Rihanna's character you? Yeah. They were gonna have her be, like, an officer at first, and then it's, like, when they started to get to know me more, they were, like, 'Well, let's make her a petty officer.' They were, like, 'Let's make her her, because she is her,' and then they ended up basing the whole thing on me, which is cool. Today, though, I'm Rihanna. It's not filled with confidence. And Jackie Carrizosa is handing me a fully automatic AK47,... It's gonna have a heavy kick to it... ...the machine gun of choice for militia around the world. GUNFIRE I feel like I've had about 30 coffees. Some people would say it's crazy that an absolute stranger can walk in off the street and fire an AK47. Well, I mean, it is, but is a... First of all, Vegas is a crazy place. It's a place Genghis Cohen has called home for 10 years now. After serving in the NZ Army, this Kiwi farm boy has come a long way. I did restaurants; I did nightclubs; um, bars; strip clubs; um, so I pretty much... anything that was, sort of, nightlife oriented in Vegas, I worked it. And what about that strange name? Real name. It's my real name. My, um... My father was a history buff and always admired Genghis Khan. But you're Maori? > Yeah. Yeah. My middle name's Te Rangi Mataturu, which was my grandfather's name. # The best things in life are free, # but you can give them to the birds and bees. I need money... This is the backyard. We have a golf course that's right here, which is excellent. Unfortunately, this is the 150yd marker and for some reason, everybody in Las Vegas shanks golf balls` I see. So this is, what, the 13th hole water trap? Yeah, this is actually, like, a water hazard. Collected about 450 golf balls since we lived here. You like Las Vegas, don't you? Cos it's the sort of place I imagine people either love or hate. It kinda is. I mean, if you have any, um... if you have any vices, then probably not the best place for you to live. 'MONEY' CONTINUES Is security a concern for you here? Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah. I mean, a lot of people don't realise, but Las Vegas is a very dangerous town. I mean, we have a lot of home invasions here. Um, you know, people get ` their homes get broken into. Do you keep guns at home? You have to. I don't have any friends that don't keep guns in their house. Where's the closest gun to us? Where's the closest gun to us? Um, I carry one in my briefcase. It's always good, it's always handy, so I keep one close in my briefcase. All right. All right. It's, uh... It's an FM57. Um... Yeah, that's a gun. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, that's a gun. (CHUCKLES) Shoots a rifle round; uh, it's a great handgun. Um, but yeah, you know, you have to in Las Vegas. It's important. Though not all gun owners are registered. Bit fat bugger. Nevada is widely accepted to have some of America's highest gun-ownership rates. A lot of Americans believe it is their born right to carry a gun. And, like, in Nevada, it's an open-carry state, so I can walk around` My range masters walk round with guns on their hips and can walk down the street like that. Thousands of people die in gun-related incidents every year in America. My, sort of, answer to that is... is, you know, guns kill people like spoons make them fat. You know, it... a gun sitting there is a very inert thing, that, you know, you've gotta take someone to pick it up and use it. In Vegas, though, there's always someone wanting to pull the trigger ` the bigger the better. The last gun I shot was amazing at the gun range, but... I need more. Genghis is happy, it seems, to go the extra mile to please his clients. I've been working with a group in Serbia, so we can so a shoot over there where they can shoot... the weapons you can't shoot anywhere else in the world. We can have them shooting a tank. And this is safe? It's safe. From the time we hit the ground in Serbia to the time we left Serbia, we'd have a close-protection team. He is a man with many fingers on many triggers and in many pies. Tell me about the goldmine. > In Africa? Yeah, we have a, uh, my partner, Jim, and I have a little gold-mining operation in Africa. The little goldmine is in Ghana. It employs more than a hundred people ` a small village. It seems crazy. You've got a machine-gun lounge and the goldmine. Are they both goldmines? I'm hoping this one's gonna be. Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Back at the range, Jackie Carrizosa has for us one last, rather large, gun. You wanna have loose knees when you hold this one. Like you're gonna run and tackle someone. This is terrifying. Isn't it? Isn't it? No, it's not. > I think you're a bit tougher than me, Jackie. I think you're a bit tougher than me, Jackie. (GIGGLES) Maybe. Probably. Probably. Probably. Probably. Probably. All right! Go ahead! GUNFIRE Yeah. Wow. And this is just a normal day for you? And this is just a normal day for you? Yeah. It's not a normal day for me. It's not a normal day for me. Hi. Land of the free, home of the brave. > Land of the free, home of the brave. > (GIGGLES) # Turn all the lights on... You've got the guns, you've got the girls, you've got the gold ` you are the Hugh Hefner... (CHUCKLES) of the Hibiscus Coast. Yeah, exactly. You know what? It may look like that, but if you had said to me 20 years ago, 'Oh, you're gonna live in Las Vegas and be running a VIP gun range and, you know, shooting off to Africa, 'you know, every three months,' I'd have said, 'Nah, I'm not gonna be doing that.' You know. But it just` It's the way it worked out. # Turn all the lights on. # Tough gig, eh, Jack (?) Um, next up on 20/20, pica ` its' an eating disorder that compels its sufferers to eat the strangest of things. This mother of two who works with special-needs children says she's been eating rocks for more than 20 years. I like that it has an earthy flavour. It's the flavour you like? It's the flavour you like? Yeah, it's the flavour, and I do like the texture, too. I like the thin pieces the best. They... (CRUNCHES) And you can break that up in your mouth? (CRUNCHES) Pretty easy. 1 Welcome back. It's a disturbing and potentially fatal eating disorder that affects more than 10% of American children. It's called pica, a condition where kids crave inedible objects, like cardboard and glass. So what happens when that child becomes an adult and those cravings get stronger and the objects more bizarre? 20/20's John Berman meets a 41-year-old woman who eats rocks as her personal comfort food. UPBEAT MUSIC I'll get one of these. I don't eat healthy. But I do love... spinach-and-artichoke dip. I like that with chips. For Teresa Widener, hitting the supermarket can be unsatisfying. I'm getting a few groceries. Sure, she finds soda, pizza, chips,... I like a lot of snack food. ...but her favourite snack? They don't sell it here. Yes, inside that pill bottle ` rocks. Teresa eats rocks! Actual rocks. (CHOMPS) Mmm. Yeah. You're surrounded by all this food ` granola bars, cereal bars, Pop Tarts ` and you'd rather have rocks? I don't see anything on this aisle that looks better. This mother-of-two, who works with special-needs children, says she's been eating rocks for more than 20 years. I like that it has a earthy flavour. I like that it has a earthy flavour. It's the flavour you like? Yeah, it's the flavour. And I do like the texture too. THUD! THUD! I like the thin pieces the best. See? (CHOMPS) And you can break that up in your mouth? Pretty easy. Pretty easy. What does it do to your teeth? Pretty easy. What does it do to your teeth? It doesn't hurt 'em. It turns out rocks are not the only strange thing you'll see people eat. No one would think that I was gonna eat my bras. On TLC's My Strange Addiction, people eat everything from bras to household cleaners. This woman's gone through seven sofas in 21 years. And Keisha likes toilet paper ` addicted to two-ply since seventh grade. I'll probably take down half the roll in one day. There is a medical term for this condition. It's the Latin word for magpie ` a bird that will eat anything. This is a behavioural and/or a mental health problem. And there's a lot of debate, because it's not really widely known where this comes from. And some people see it as a mental disorder; some people see it as a behavioural problem. Teresa says she's anaemic and the rocks help treat her iron deficiency. But she also says they're an emotional crutch. If I know I have some at my house, I feel better just knowing they're there. Of course, pica comes with serious risks. Those rocks that go into Teresa's mouth have to end up somewhere. You run the risk of perforating your stomach, your bowels, your intestinal tract. I have some stomach problems at times. I have some stomach problems at times. How about your throat? Sometimes I have a bit of trouble. (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) Those are a lot of medical issues, not a few. I... I feel healthy in general, though. I feel healthy. So, you just put it in and eat it? So, you just put it in and eat it? Just put it in and chomp it. This isn't gonna hurt me? This isn't gonna hurt me? CHUCKLES: No. That will not hurt you. (CRUNCHES) Um, it doesn't really chomp, and I don't wanna bite too hard. Your teeth must not be strong enough. Your teeth must not be strong enough. Excuse me. It isn't for everyone. It isn't for everyone. No. For grown-ups, pica can be confusing, startling, mystifying. But for kids, it's something else entirely ` terrifying. She had blood in her mouth, and of course, I panicked and grabbed her and took her to the hospital. Colleen Hayhurst is talking about her 3-year-old daughter Natalie ` adorable, energetic, effervescent Natalie. When your eyes are not on her, what's going through your mind? What is she doing? What is she eating? The list is long. Um, like, this, actually, was a rubber ball ` a little bouncy ball. This was my son's schoolwork. He'd left a pencil down, and this was what was left of it. This we kept because this was the brick that she'd actually taken. That was one of the things that she had eaten. This, um, actually was the blind that she had... taken the bite out of that made me take her to the doctor. That's her mouth? Those are her teeth? That's her mouth? Those are her teeth? Those are her tooth marks, yeah. As babies, kids love putting things into their mouths. But generally they grow out of it by about 18 months. Many, like Natalie, do not, and it can be downright dangerous ` so dangerous, Colleen keeps poison control on speed dial. The worst case was when she ate a light bulb when she was about 2 years old. I ate a... um, a light bulb. You ate a light bulb? You ate a light bulb? When I was a little baby. When Colleen saw the blood in the mouth, she rushed Natalie to the hospital. I was scared. I was terrified. Natalie still talks about the surgery to remove the shards of glass. And they... they cut my belly open and got the light bulb bits out and` and` and put it back ` put my belly back together. They put your belly back together again? Yeah. Yeah. That's a good thing. In kids, pica can be connected to developmental issues, even autism. Colleen has Natalie on a list to be tested. The good news is, most often, children with pica outgrow it by the time they reach second grade. In the meantime, they try to keep her taste buds occupied. There's lemon juice ` Natalie drinks it straight. They say that her taste buds are a little different and that certain things, um, are better for her; help stimulate her body. You want more? And then there's other diversions. What do you call this box? What do you call this box? Pica box. Inside, chew toys. Um, it's one you chew on. You chew on it? > Like that, huh? > Still, it's a constant struggle. Please, put that down. Don't pick stuff like that up. That's not good for you. It's not good, honey. You don't know if that's poisonous. You don't wanna get sick. More than anything, Colleen wants people to be aware of this problem; Natalie. No, no, no. Put that down. Don't` Don't be pickin' stuff up. You don't... That's not good for you. to look for signs in their own kids, so that Natalie and other pica children can grow up safely. She plays hard. She plays hard. Yeah. She's definitely not afraid of anything. Do you think she's afraid of pica? Do you think she's afraid of pica? No. No, I don't. I don't think she has a fear at all, no. I think if she was, she wouldn't put some of the things in her mouth. But that's what I'm here for ` I'm here to be scared for her. Coming up ` a whodunnit with a supernatural celebrity twist. # ...more than love that... # The Barry White demon urged Neuman to kill himself, but another voice, sounding like Olivia Newton John,... # Let's get physical, physical... # ...told him to kill Rusty Sneiderman because Rusty was a danger to his two children. And said the angel told him he had to protect the children and he had to kill Rusty. 1 Welcome back. Rusty and Andrea Sneiderman seemed to have it all ` two beautiful children, a beautiful home and each other. But their American dream ended when Rusty was gunned down outside his son's preschool in what looked like a professional hit. So the question on everyone's lips ` who would want to kill this likeable, doting dad? And the answer ` well, sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction. For Rusty Sneiderman and his son Ian it is a routine Thursday morning ` breakfast with the family, then the short drive to drop Ian off for a morning of play at the Dunwoody Prep, a day care centre near Atlanta. But on November 18 2010, Rusty doesn't notice that he's being followed by a man in a silver van. and 2-year-old Ian has no way of knowing he's saying goodbye to his father for the last time. As Ian and the other children head to the playground, Rusty Sneiderman walks back to his car, a gunman opens fire. Three shots, and then a final bullet to Rusty Sneiderman's neck ` an execution in cold blood. The killer escapes, leaving Rusty Sneiderman gasping for air on the pavement. MAN: It sounded like a gunshot. A cellphone video captures police and ambulances rushing to the scene. There was a lot of blood everywhere. We knew that it was probably from vital organs hit. Minutes after the shooting, the school calls Rusty's wife, Andrea, telling her there has been an accident. Andrea calls Rusty's parents, Don and Marilyn Sneiderman, and strangely, she sounded apologetic. She said, 'Rusty had been shot, and I'm so so sorry.' How did she sound when she was talking? She was very excited. Her voice was up at high pitch. Uh,... the words came out real fast. Did she sound panicky? No. Who would have wanted to kill this outgoing young father? Did Rusty has enemies, a secret life? Maybe there's a clue hidden in his past. Rusty Sneiderman grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated from Indiana University with his lifelong friend Josh Golub. Rusty always had a lot of friends. That goes to Rusty's personality. Rusty would leave an indelible mark on people. Josh was with Rusty when he met his future wife, Andrea Greenberg. 'I just met this really great girl, this really cute girl.' I remember how excited he was after meeting her. Were you surprised when he proposed marriage? No. They lived together for seven years. They were a good team. She presents very warm, um, gives you a huge embrace and seemed very sincere, so, yeah, I had a good feeling about them. After Rusty earned an MBA at Harvard, the couple moved to the Atlanta suburbs to start a family. And how much did Rusty love being a dad? I've never seen him happier than being a dad, and he was a big kid at heart himself. He just adored his kids. He was just so natural, that he just naturally had the skill to connect with them, and he would sit on the floor, and play with them. And not everyone has that natural ability. But he really did. At 36 years old, Rusty had a lot to be proud of. He had created a comfortable life for his family as a successful wealth manager and consultant. To their neighbours, Rusty and Andrea appeared to be a happy couple. They were very very friendly, wanting to fit into the neighbourhood, just really easy to talk to, just, you know, nice people. They were people you wanted to be your neighbour to move in. Rusty was thrilled when Andrea took a job at General Electric. It gave him time to develop a new business. and spend more time with his son, Ian, and 5-year-old daughter Sophia. In her new position at GE, Andrea worked closely with her new boss, Hemy Neuman, a highly paid engineer, who supervised 5000 employees. Andrea Sneiderman caught his eye, and by November 2010, she was spending more and more days on the road with her boss. After-business trips took them from Lake Tahoe to the Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. Hemy developed a deep infatuation with Andrea. December 2010, four weeks after Rusty Sneiderman was inexplicably gunned down in front of the Dunwoody prep preschool, police are no closer to finding the identity of the killer. Everyone thought professional hit. So of course people were thinking, 'Was it financial? Was it a business deal that had gone badly? 'Was it a love triangle? Was it an affair?' To find a possible motive for the shooting, police turned to Rusty Sneiderman's wife, Andrea. When asked if anyone had a romantic interest in her, she mentions Hemy Neuman, Andrea's supervisor at the nearby GE energy complex. Her response was that her boss, Hemy Neuman, had made a pass at her, but it was on a business trip and it was sometime ago and nothing else had happened and dismissed it. Meanwhile, detectives make a breakthrough. Enhanced video from the school's security camera reveals that the getaway vehicle was a late-model Kia Sedona minivan. Police track a minivan to this enterprise rental car lot and make a startling discovery. The person who rented the Sedona during the period of the murder was none other than Hemy Neuman, Andrea's boss. I was not there. I did not pull the trigger on the gun that shot Rusty Sneiderman. He was very calm, unusually calm. Hemy Neuman was much different than most people who commit murder. Over the course of the five-hour interrogation, police make it clear that they believe Neuman had a fatal attraction to Andrea Sneiderman; that she was the motive for the killing. She's going on these trips with you. She's a very attractive woman. She's looking pretty. And you had to feel bad about that? Jealousy gets in the heart. Oh yeah. Oh yeah ` Jealousy gets in the heart. Despite his claims of innocence, police are convinced they have their man. Neuman is arrested and charged with Rusty Sneiderman's murder. Meanwhile prosecutors strengthen their case. They track Neuman's phone records to this man, Jan De Silva. He says he sold a 40-calibre Bursa handgun, like this one, to Neuman just one month before the murder. Even more damning, De Silva says Neuman contacted him again a month later, this time to try to buy his silence. He told me that there was a problem with the gun, that he had to get rid of it. He just said to me, like, 'Don't ever have a mistress.' So, was Andrea Sneiderman the mistress of Hemy Neuman? When police put the question to her after his arrest, she says any affair between herself and Hemy Neuman was only in his head. Coming up ` an unbelievable defence, and the finger is pointed at the grieving widow. Bizarre! This twisted little man. Both the defence and the prosecution turn up the heat and not just on the killer. They suggest Andrea might be a black widow, not a grieving one. He's not crazy; he's a co-conspirator. The demon cos was he was cheating on her. The demon had defiled her marriage. Andrea Sneiderman is an adulterer and a tease and a master manipulator. 1 When police charged Hemy Neuman with the murder of Rusty Sneiderman, they were convinced he did it out of love ` albeit a twisted kind of love ` for Rusty's wife, Andrea. Andrea Sneiderman said that Hemy did once make a pass at her, but as for any kind of affair, it simply didn't happen. The thing is, though, relationships usually leave an email trail, and when Andrea takes the witness stand, she has a bit of explaining to do. The crime appalled the city of Atlanta ` a father killed outside a preschool. This February high drama at the DeKalb County Courthouse as the man who did it faces trial. Attorneys for accused killer Hemy Neuman begin with a stunning admission. On November 18, 2010,... Hemy Neuman shot... and killed... Rusty Sneiderman. Neuman pleads not guilty by reason of insanity. He will have the burden of proving to the jury he did not know right from wrong when he pulled the trigger. It was madness that drove him to kill, his attorneys say. Madness and a woman ` Rusty Sneiderman's wife. He fell for Andrea. If you wanna call it infatuation, if you wanna call it love, he fell for her. Neuman tells psychiatrists voices in his head are telling him to do evil things. < I can imagine your reaction when you heard his story of the angels and demons who appeared to him... We laughed. We laughed. < ...sounding like Barry White and Olivia Newton-John Yeah, this is ridiculous. That was our reaction ` this is absolutely ridiculous. # There's more than love. # The Barry White demon urged Neuman to kill himself, but another voice sounding like Olivia Newton-John.... # Let's get physical, physical... # ...told him to kill Rusty Sneiderman because Rusty was a danger to his two children. ATTORNEY: And so the angel told him he had to protect the children and he had to kill Rusty. Do you solemnly swear to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Yes. Do you have any idea why the defendant would have these feelings towards you? I think I'm a pretty nice person. Um, I'm a very caring person. Were you and the defendant romantically involved? Were you and the defendant romantically involved? No. Prosecutors rattle Andrea with chains of unbusiness-like emails from Hemy. It's about how you felt 'when we looked at the stars in Tahoe,... 'when we woke up Friday morning in Denver. Mm-hm. 'When we walked out of the restaurant on Thursday. 'When you took my hand and nestled your head on my shoulder. OK? > OK? > Yeah. OK? > Yeah. Did that happen? > Did what happen? Did what happen? Did you wake up together in Denver in Tahoe? > No. When the defence attorneys get their turn to question her, they suggest is Hemy was stalking Andrea, she made it easy for him. The 'stalker' that you've now testified about, you picked him up at the airport? Yeah. You flew home with him? That's correct. That's correct. You changed seats to sit next to him. That's how we always travel. After a trip to Greenville, South Carolina, with Hemy, they have a revealing email exchange in which Andrea says, 'I now have to repent.' Turn to the second page of that email. Turn to the second page of that email. Yep. Hemy Neuman says, 'Please, never forget how much I love you.' And how did you respond? (READS) I know, but so do other people. I've betrayed them all. I'm not sure how to deal with that, but my burden, not yours. What happened in Greenville? Um, we were holding each other's hands, and that's it. It may sound worse than it is, but to me that was a betrayal. So you're repenting in the email at least from holding his hand? Yep. I mean, the most telling quote of the whole thing was at the end of the redirect, when he said, 'Why did you lead the police down a rabbit hole?' She looks at him and says,... Have you seen what's happened to my life? Have you noticed? And Don busts her and says, 'Have you seen what happened to Rusty?' He felt that he and Andrea were like soulmates. The defence hoped the jury would believe just how overcome Hemy was. arguing, in essence, that he was crazy in love. There's nothing wrong with him. He's faking, or in other words malingering. The prosecution maintained that the affair proves just the opposite, not that Hemy was insane, but crazy like a fox in a carefully plotted conspiracy. But sides take the affair as a given. Even though Andrea Sneiderman denies it, eight other witnesses confirm it. And many following the trial wonder if an affair was the only thing Andrea was trying to hide. There are also troubling questions about when she knew that her husband had been shot. She testified that the school had only told her there'd been an emergency and that Rusty was taken to the hospital. She raced over to the school without first doing what many think would have been natural. How many times did you call Rusty? How many times did you call Rusty? Call Rusty? Rusty. Rusty. Zero times. Why didn't you call Rusty? Why didn't you call Rusty? They just told me something had happened. What are the chances he'll answer his cellphone? They didn't tell you what happened to Rusty. Is there a question? Andrea testified she didn't know her husband had been shot until she got to the hospital at about 11am. They took me into what I call the 'Death Room'. OK, so... I sat in a chair, and someone ` I have no idea who they are ` came over and said that he came in with multiple gunshot wounds and that he was dead. I don't remember anything they said after that. OK, so you` OK, so you` I fell to the floor. You found out at the hospital Rusty had been shot? That's correct. That's correct. OK. And then in the most heart-breaking testimony that has been heard so far, Rusty's father got on the stand... My name is Donald Sneiderman. ...and said that Andrea called him at about 9.36 in the morning, and the words that he said shook the courtroom. Andrea called us, and she called and said Rusty had been shot, she was so so sorry and that she was going to Dunwoody Prep to find out what had happened. And are you sure that she told you that Rusty had been shot? And are you sure that she told you that Rusty had been shot? Yes, sir. That was a bombshell. That was a bombshell. That was the first time people in the community really had something concrete to wrap their head around and say, 'Maybe she knew. Maybe she was in on it.' Speculation was further inflamed by the fact that Andrea Sneiderman stood to collect $2 million from Rusty's life insurance, a sum that might have been tempting to a financially strapped Hemy Neuman. Coming up ` Hemy Neuman may have pulled the trigger, but both the prosecution and the defence suggest someone else was involved. Did Andrea Sneiderman's relationship with Neuman have anything to do with her husband's murder ` it is the question lawyers will ask when she is under oath in the trial of Hemy Neuman. Andrew Sneiderman. And what she will say on the stand will surprise everyone,... Were you and the defendant involved? ...when 20/20 returns. 1 Welcome back. When Andrea Sneiderman first entered the courtroom in the trial of Hemy Neuman, she entered as the grieving widow. But now she's being seen, by some people, at least, as the black widow. Hemy Neuman may be claiming that a voice inside his head made him do it, but others think it was simply the voice of Andrea Sneiderman. So will justice be done for Rusty when both sides of the court are pointing the finger at the woman who isn't even on trial? INTENSE MUSIC Is this the face of madness? And is this the face of evil? Those are the questions facing the jury at the trial of Hemy Neuman. He's admitted killing Rusty Sneiderman, but the central question remains ` was Hemy crazy or just crazy in love with Rusty's wife, Andrea? Three psychiatric witnesses for the defence agree Hemy Neuman was insane at the time of the murder. When he shot Mr Sneiderman, he was going through a manic episode. He was somewhat odd and had some weird magical thinking. Did he suffer from bipolar disorder and at the time was manic and delusional? The defence witness Dr Tracey Marks says Andrea also shares some of the blame for what she calls the explosion of madness in Hemy's head. Whether it was intentional or unintentional was that her interactions with him kind of planted the seed for his delusions. Prosecutors say there were no delusions, just a methodical premeditated plot to kill Rusty. He stalked him, which gun to use. Well, let me see, 'Shall I stab him? Should I shoot him? 'Should I run over him with the car?' And what was happening in Andrea's head? She denies an affair, but even her former close friend Shayna Citron didn't believe her. Did Andrea admit or deny an affair with her boss at that time after the murder? Denied it. When she told you no, did you believe her? No, but my heart really wanted to believe her. But you didn't believe her? But you didn't believe her? No. But you didn't believe her? No. Thank you, ma'am. Citron's testimony led to a jaw-dropping moment of courtroom drama. When she left the stand, Andrea stood and gave her a long warm hug in front of the jury. But outside the courtroom where the jury couldn't see, Andrea approached her again. Citron's lawyer Jay Abt witnessed what happened next. She tells her, 'Look, I understand you had to do what you had to do. 'but now you're going to have to live with what I'm gonna do.' She says it in an ominous way, and then she gives Shayna another kiss, but this kiss was like the kiss of death. This case is also about one bad, really bad woman, Andrea Sneiderman. Andrea has not been charged with any crime, but as they close their cases, the prosecution and the defence have one thing in common ` their scathing accusations against the victim's wife. The gun in this case was in Hemy's hand, but the trigger, I respectfully suggest, was pulled by Andrea Sneiderman. Hemy didn't hide his crime from Andrea, because Andrea already knew. Adulterer, tease, liar and master manipulator. As for Hemy, the prosecution says he was anything but insane. Hemy Neuman killed Rusty Sneiderman because he wanted his wife, because he wanted his money, because he wanted his life. And that makes him guilty. That makes him guilty. That makes him guilty all day, every day, because he is sane, and he knew the difference between right and wrong. Both sides end with a passionate plea for justice. Hemy was used. Hemy was manipulated. Good men don't sleep with other men's wives. Good men don't do what he did. Good men do not do this! A year and a half after Rusty was shot dead,... Deputy Moore, would you please bring in the jury? ...there is a verdict. We the jury find the defendant as to count one guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, but mentally ill. It is a win for the prosecution. Hemy Neuman will go to prison, not a mental hospital. As the judge gets ready to issue his sentence, Neuman stands and for the first time speaks in court. I'm so, so, so sorry for their loss. Hemy Neuman's apology is too little, too late. He is sentenced to life behind bars with no chance ever of parole. Today he realised, 'Oh my God. I will never get out of this jail.' And shed tears for himself? Tears that he's never shed for Rusty. Hemy Neuman was an evil man. He's evil. Period. Andrea Sneiderman issued a statement, saying was 'grateful for and relieved by the verdict.' And she described her husband as 'an amazing man'. She had denied any involvement in his murder. But Hemy lawyers still believe the wrong person is paying the price for Rusty's death. I think that he was a pawn in her hand, and she's guilty. You think she belongs in prison? You think she belongs in prison? I do. I believe she should be charged with murder. The district attorney won't say if he plans to bring charges against Andrea. He says their investigation into Rusty's murder is ongoing. You believe she's guilty of murder? I believe that she participated, um, in the death of her husband. Now, what I believe and what I can prove are two completely different things at times. Rusty's family says until they know more about Andrea's role in his death, there is only partial justice. Do you believe she actually conspired to have Rusty shot and killed? We don't know how she's involved, but she's involved. For them, the pain of their loss remains as powerful as ever. In my dreams, he comes waltzing through the door, just like he always did. We miss him. We miss him. What will you tell Sophia and Ian about their dad? That he loved them, so he wanted nothing but the best for them. Rusty's motto was to dream big. And I hope that those two will dream big. How about you, Don? How about you, Don? That he was a good guy. That he was great. EMOTIONALLY: And that he loved them. OK, now, since that story went to air in the States, Andrea Sneiderman has filed a suit against her brother-in-law, suing him for libel, defamation and slander. She's also filed a wrongful-death suit against her former boss. if you want to see any of tonight's stories again, you can head to our website as always. It's... You can also email us at...
