Wife Convinced Husband to Shoot Neighbor for Raping Her 'Telepathically'

Moar Guns!



A woman in Utah has pleaded guilty to attempted criminal solicitation and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person after persuading her husband to shoot their neighbor by claiming she was the victim of "telepathic rape."

Meloney Selleneit was accused of illegally purchasing a gun for Michael Selleneit, a violent felon, and inciting him to shoot Tony Pierce twice in the back while Pierce was working in his yard.

Michael, 53, later told police Pierce, 41, had been telepathically raping his wife for years and was using crack cocaine to control her mind.

A judge found Michael competent to stand trial despite some hesitancy from mental health evaluators.

I have a friend who buys into this kind of nonsense (not quite to this criminal degree) and it really can be a sad thing to watch. I wish I could telepathically beam some sense into these people's heads, but I don't have "the gift."

In fact, you'd have to look far and wide to find better.

Wow.

Some people have weird delusions.

But what's the harm of believing in telepathy?

Could be there were drugs invovled and MH could not tell what symptoms of stupid were drug related vs. crazy.
Tho a judge could have ordered a drug test, I would think.
