Selenski rips DA for delay tactics, denies he’s seeking publicity

DA David Lupas:

I’ll bet you’ve been laughing to yourself since October. I file a Bill of Particulars motion in October 2006 expecting the judge to make a ruling in a fair amount of time. Here we are in March 2007 with no answers to the motion and you crying about tallying up every single day.

I certainly look the fool. You managed to exploit the system and grab yourself an additional six months to get me to trial and you can gloat that it’s all my fault. In theory you’ve won another battle for yourself, but your rhetoric is transparent, not to mention hypocritical.

You won the reprieve solely on the lax shoulders of Judge Muroski. It appears we’re headed for a systematical slow walk through the system that’s been pre-ordained to allow you to scurry out of the DA’s office leaving the mess you’ve made to the future DA.

You hid behind closed doors in the first trial and you’re going to run from this trial. I often wonder if you would be a formidable opponent if you spent as much time preparing as you do running. I’m certain we’ll never know.

However, I’ve filed to the Superior Court on the escape charge. If it’s denied I won’t be asking the Supreme Court to hear it. It’s then trial time, Dave Lupas. I’m hoping you take the helm for that case (or is it too trivial for somebody of your importance and stature?) Keep in mind what a judge’s instructions are to a jury about an escape charge. It’s going to be interesting to see how a jury reacts once all of the relevant facts come out about October 10, 2003. The escape issue has been an arduous battle between us. Don’t let us all down by handing the case to an assistant to argue at trial.

One last thing, you continuously accuse me of “seeking publicity.” That seems to be your “cure all” statement toward dealing with me. The truth of the matter is that I only speak to the media on occasions that you irritate me to the point of speaking out. (I guess we can say it’s a weakness of mine that I have a short temper when it comes to you.)

Nevertheless, you’re surely aware that I’ve kept my media responses to our local papers. I’ve never once interviewed with the multiple national TV stations that have asked, the Associated Press and other out-of-town newspapers, the book authors, movie producers, magazines, Court TV, and I can go on and on. I’ve always kept Luzerne County issues inside Luzerne County and never relented to the requests of the big media sources. If you continue to run your mouth with this asinine statement that I’m “seeking publicity” I’m going to show you how quickly you can become a national comic instead of just a local one.

Yeah. You tell 'em. I don't know how this is a publicity stunt when this is the only way to 'communicate' with Lupas without being told to "shut up". Hell, he'll probably ignore it or repeat his publicity mantra yeeeeeeet again. Can Davey Bird say "Broken Record"?????????
