Hugo Selenski



The Hugo Selenski trail is underway in Luzerne County. Lots of bones, lots of bodies and lots of bedsheets.

CV: Selensk's former girlfriend, Tina Strom, said she did not see blood or hear gunshots the night of the alleged murder.

WILKES-BARREAll lies and no proof. Defense attorney says that’s the best way to summarize the story "Pat the Rat" Russin concocted in claiming Hugo Selenski lured two drug dealers to his home, then shot and killed them in May 2003.
"Pat Russin is a liar," attorney Demetrius Fannick boomed in his opening statement to the jury Wednesday morning.

Many women find slayings suspect "hot," and he’s gaining sympathy as a result

Ludicrous as it might sound, Hugo Selenski is a babe magnet. Women in offices and bars across Luzerne County describe him as sexy.

People obsessed with Selenski and the case are even branded "Hugoists" on one of the many Internet chat rooms created in his honor – some featuring his picture.

The whole country is watching.

Media outlets from all over descend on courthouse for opening day of trial.

"This case is fascinating and bizarre, I don't think anyone can deny that," said Gerald Kolpan, a reporter for FOX 29 in Philadelphia for almost 20 years. "When you get a case with so many elements with a defendant who has dodged so many bullets, it makes it an interesting story and interesting stories are what our viewers want."

Is he going to walk?

He is going to walk; main reason: the victims are not sympathetic characters (i.e. female, pretty, and blonde). This may be a cynical observation, but the cards are stacked against the Prosecution. Conflicting stories by witnesses you would not want to be caught in a dark alley with, an incompetent prosection team, a rabidly ferocious defense attorney, and a charismatic defendant. IF Lupas pulls this conviction off his stature will be restored ( if he ever had any to begin with).

Good looking people always have an advantage in these types of trials. It's harder for the juries to picture someone good looking like Selenski as being your typical mass murderer. If Selenski gets off he'll make millions from book and movie deals.

ok, let me start off by saying that i have a lot to say. i cant believe hugo is being treated like this! its not his fault that russin fell, its russins own fault that he was so slow, u dont take ur time when ur escaping from jail, and how the hell can he go down for these murders?????? if he did kill them, all he did was keep that much drugs off the street, but when ppl say that they dont want their kids around that kind of invironment, they would be right, if hugo was a killer, which he IS NOT! so y dont those ppl wait and see what happens b4 they get all hyper and shit cause they thought he was gonna be convicted last time, and they were wrong. 1 more thing, how the fuck did the justice system "fail"??????? the "incriminating" evidence was there, y the fuck was he found innocent? i thing david lupas is 100% jelous cause hes not even close to being as FUCKIN SEXY as hugo is, and he NEVER will be! I LOVE U HUGO, KEEP THAT GORGEOUS HEAD HIGH, AND DONT LET THOSE WANNABEES GET U DOWN!!! WE ALL LOVE U!!!!!!!!******
