DECATUR, GA (WXIA) -- In an effort to clear her name completely, Andrea Sneiderman is asking the same judge who oversaw her conviction to throw it out and let her try her case again with a second jury.

Appearing thinner and with longer hair, Sneiderman sat staring straight ahead as her attorney listed five reasons he believes she should get a new trial.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- DeKalb County officers are serving warrants and have made hundreds of arrests in the last week. It's part of an effort made up of 20 local, state and federal agencies trying to get criminals off the streets.

The Dekalb County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement agencies spent the last 7 days looking for what they say are the community's worst criminals.

On average, the sheriff's office gets more than a thousand arrest warrants every month. Sheriff Jeffrey Mann says serving a warrant is a high stakes gamble even for the most experienced officer.
