Isn't it funny how they want to blame the tight security on the "energized courtroom" they are expecting. They are so quick to say it's the words exchanged between the 2 families during Hugo's trial, instead of admitting it was the urban drug lords shouting threats at Hugo and his family. The county is just as scared as any normal person would be - so they need to stop making it look like Hugo is the security reason and the monster here. We all know who the real monsters are here and the county paid their whole tab. I guess the county wants to keep the drugs in Luzerne county - hmmm...really makes you think!

The following is an article taken from The Citizens Voice newspaper.
County will tighten security for Selenski hearing Monday. When Hugo Selenski is sentenced Monday, May 1st on two counts of abuse of a corpse, Luzerne County Sheriff Barry Stankus will increase security to ensure everyone in the courtroom keeps their emotions under control.
Every person who enters Luzerne County Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr.’s courtroom must pass through security and metal detectors in addition to an initial search when they enter the River Street courthouse. The security procedures are identical to those at Selenski’s murder trial in March.
Stankus expects to subdue what could be an energized courtroom by assigning numerous deputy sheriffs to security detail. Selenski’s family members and family members of murder victims Frank James and Adeiye Keiler, who exchanged words on occasions during the trial, are expected to be in the courtroom.
“Security is going to be tight that day,” Stankus said. “We’re going to take every necessary precaution to keep everyone in check.”
Selenski faces a maximum of four years in prison on the abuse of corpse charges, but may be given credit for time served. Selenski has been in jail almost three years awaiting trial on separate double-homicide charges.

Attorney Demetrius Fannick will represent Selenski during the sentencing, but that will end his involvement with Selenski. Hugo's hands-on approach, not money, is what discouraged Fannick from defending Hugo.
