he was visited by an angel chlt and shortly after had a revelation that he was the father of andrea sneiderman'sndrea. that with rusty gone, they could be married and raise kids together. >> reporter: the psychiatrist said later he was met by the aim angel. >> he thought to himself, he thought, i have to kill him. from that point on, he said, i got my marching orders. i was a faithful soldier. >> reporter: the defense argues that andrea sneiderman and his relationship with her caused him to do this. have she cuddlened a stroked his chest. they held each other for about half an hour. >> reporter: this doesn't prove that neuman is not mentally ill. meantime, andrea sneiderman is behaving herself and stage away from court. she was banned a week ago for allegedly threatening a witness. >> so bizarre. >> so sar. >> thanks, robin. >>> now to an exclusive sbe view with the man acquitted in the honeymoon murder trial. there was no evidence saying he meant to kill his wife on a honeymoon scuba dive in australia. elizabeth vargas covered the trial for us. you pushed him hard. >> i did, george. he spent 8

no evidence that andrea sneiderman was part of this. the d.a. has said stay tuned when talking about chances of more with her. >> i think it's powerful that in the closing argument, they refer to her as a coconspirator. at this juncture, she's not been charged. i think a lot of it hinges on phone records. there were about 1500 phone calls and texts between the two. i'm talking about the con vipgted killer and the victim's wife. leading up to the murder. this is what concerns me. when she called the victim's family, immediately after the shooting, she says, he's been shot. rusty's been shot. but she told the skrurry, under oath, she did not know he had been shot until she got to the emergency room. now she called the family en route. i would like to point out, she stopped at her home before she goes to find out about her husband. not only that, apparently disallowed police to come and search her home. i find that disconcerting. how did she know he was shot? i look at the phone records. it looked as if she and the killer tried to talk that morning

the gun in this case was in hemi's hand but the trigger i respectfully suggest was pulled by andrea sneiderman say newman is making up the insanity defense. we hear that altogether time, the malingering. i was talking to toobin who said it's hard to get the insanity defense. >> that's right, we hear about the insanity defense and people think people get off because of that. that just isn't true. it's very, very difficult to be successful on an insanity defense. and i suspect it's going to be difficult here. >> we'll have to watch for it. at least we're in the home stretch. sunny hostin on the case for us. thank you. appreciate it. >>> when we come back, i want to talk more about the american soldier accused of mass killings in afghanistan and especially what about the other soldiers who fought next to him? what do they have to say? they lived and worked and slept nearby. did they know something we don't know? how is the fallout from his alleged killing spree going to affect them on the front lines? that's coming up. man: 1939 -- my parents ran across an ad for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "
