Hemy Neuman has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the murder of Rusty Sneiderman.

DECATUR, GA -- A jury was seated Friday for the retrial of Hemy Neuman.

Jurors for the new trial were selected from a pool of 250 candidates. Fifteen jurors were selected -- 12 primary jurors plus three alternates. The racial breakdown of the jurors are as follows: eight black females, three black males, three white females and one white male.

Opening statements in the new trial are set for Monday morning at 9:00.
