The latest on Hugo


First the old news.

DA to seek death for Selenski, Weakley

Luzerne County District Attorney David Lupas on Wednesday filed paperwork notifying Hugo Selenski and Paul Weakley that he intends to seek the death penalty against them in their trial for the deaths of Michael Kerkowski and Tammy Fassett.

Yes this is old news as it was first reported on that awful Nancy Grace show on Headline News. But at least the DA filed the paperwork this time.

Now we are back to Lupas vs. Olszewski. Forget Hugo, these two have been in a pissing contest for a while. Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr has smacked down Luzerne County District Attorney David Lupas in this and other cases ever since Lupas was elected. Now Lupas is going after Olszewski and accusing him of misconduct via a law clerk and has asked for his removal from the case. Olszewski was the DA before Lupas and knows what a prosecutor should do. So when Lupas screws up he is hard on him. Some advice for Dave, don't pick a fight with a judge. On a side note Lupas was elected DA after raising and spending $ 750,000 on a platform to lock up all the drug dealers. That has been a real success.

The coverage in the local rags is interesting. The Times-Leader has quotes from everybody involved and the Citizens Voice only talked to Lupas.

I think it's ironic how Hugo barely even knows anything about all this with him being down in Camp Hill.

It's funny that no matter what, Lupas makes everything into a big, blown-out issue. He certainly exemplifies the phrase "drama queen"!!! Love the pic you have of him, nice trademark grimace/wannabe-smile. The eyes say it all...

Another question for all of us is why they said that Hugo's aunt didn't have to be read her rights because it was such a high profile case. I thoght everyone had to be read their rights when they take and book them.She never was and they are getting away with it.
The public onlys knows what the news people are told from the da's office and not the real truth on what they did to her and how they risked her life. The true story will be told even though Lupas doesnt want it to come out what they did to her. Maybe just before election would be a good time.
