Neuman v. State

In the Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided: March 15, 2021

S20A1143. NEUMAN v. THE STATE.

BETHEL, Justice.

In August 2016, a DeKalb County jury found Hemy Neuman

guilty of the malice murder of Russell Sneiderman and possession of

a firearm during the commission of a felony. This was the second

jury to return guilty verdicts against Neuman as to those offenses.

We reversed Neuman’s convictions following his first trial because

the State had improper access to privileged notes and records of

Neuman’s mental health experts during preparation of the State’s

case. See Neuman v. State, 297 Ga. 501 (773 SE2d 716)…
