WILKES-BARRE -A Luzerne County judge removed himself Wednesday from presiding over the Hugo Selenski murder trial at the request of prosecutors....“The Commonwealth’s allegations are both insulting and wholly without merit,” Judge Peter Paul Olszewski wrote in a 27-page decision. “For the Commonwealth to suggest, let alone to specifically allege that this court leaned heavily towards Selenski illustrates an intentional ignorance of the record.”
When asked to comment on specific accusations made by Olszewski in the ruling, Lupas declined to comment on most parts, saying: “I don’t choose to crawl into a gutter with rats.”
Correction: Lupas stood by his decision to file the request, saying it was the right thing to do “morally, legally, and ethically.” He realized he would have to face some repercussions for doing it.
“I’m used to being subjected to people calling me names,” he said, at one point insinuating Fannick has resorted to such tactics. “I stay above that. … I don’t crawl into gutters with rats.”
Wow. The Judge hurt his feelings and he resorts to name calling.
