DECATUR, Ga. (AP) _ Jurors are beginning a second day of deliberations in the case of a corporate engineer who claims he was insane when he killed a toddler’s father outside a suburban Atlanta preschool.

The jury returned Thursday at 8:30 a.m. to consider the fate of Hemy Neuman. Jurors were sent home Wednesday after a day of deliberations that including watching about two hours of interviews between Neuman and a forensic psychiatrist.

Neuman’s attorneys say he couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong when he killed Russell Sneiderman on November 2010. Prosecutors contend jealousy drove Neuman to kill, not a “contrived” mental illness.

The 49-year-old could face life in prison if found guilty of murder. He would become a ward of the state if found not guilty by reason of insanity.

If they come back with a verdict of "not-guilty by reason of insanity" it will really be INSANE. Waiting for the DA to charge the "widow" as she is obviously a conniving liar! This was such a cut and dry case of the defense having no other defense than insanity. Even the soon to be ex-wife said he (nueman) was not insane... We'll see what happens.
