Utah Man Claims To Have Shot Neighbor After The Neighbor Raped His Wife “Telepathically”

Published 1, January 16, 2013 Bizarre , Criminal law 35 Comments

Michael L. Selleneit, 54, appears to have decided that his defense to shooting a neighbor was not particularly promising. After Selleneit shot Tony Pierce, 41, who lived in a nearby trailer, he claimed to have acted in defense of his wife who was being “telepathically” raped by Pierce.


 Background checks might weed out the dangerously mentally ill, before they get a chance to do this kind of harm.

Selleneit’s wife, Meloney Toone Selleneit, is accused of buying the gun for him and encouraging him to “go for it” before he shot Pierce. She is charged with criminal solicitation and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person. 

Also, maybe we could weed out people who are married to psychopaths.
