DECATUR, Ga. (WXIA) - The first day of the Hemy Neuman trial is in the books, with widow Andrea Sneiderman the first witness called to the stand.

Sneiderman defiantly insisted there was no affair between she and the man accused of gunning down her husband in November 2010.

Sneiderman says though she and Neuman, her direct supervisor at GE Energy, traveled together on business, there was nothing to accusations of an affair between the two of them, though, she said, she was aware that he had feelings for her, and that he had expressed this to her during a Nevada business trip.

Police said Neuman shot Sneiderman's husband, Rusty Sneiderman, to death outside a Dunwoody day care center shortly after Rusty Sneiderman dropped off their young son on November 18, 2010.
