Hugo Selenski’s attorney argued that there was no physical evidence tying his client to the murders of Frank James and Adeiye Keiler (except for the garbage bags filled with their charred remains found on his property). Cops were actually looking for two other missing people, whose bodies were also found at Selenski’s place, when they came across the garbage bags of James and Keiler’s stubborn teeth and bones that just wouldn’t burn. In the end they found between 5 and 12 people’s remains at Hugo’s.
Selenski, a convicted bank robber who briefly escaped from jail in 2003, has a variety of hobbies including needlepoint, microwave cookery, and luring drug dealers to his house so he can rob and murder them. This time around Hugo was also acquitted of two counts of robbery and one count of conspiracy. However, the jury did find him guilty of abusing a corpse. So although the jury can’t say he killed James and Keiler, they can apparently agree that he burned their bodies.
As soon as he was acquitted the prosecutors charged him with a couple more murders. There are enough bodies in the backyard to keep them all occupied for awhile. After they get tired of that, maybe we can get out some play-dough or the Lite Brite or something.
