WILKES-BARRE - Hugo Selenski's attorneys want off his case.
The court-appointed lawyers who represent the double-homicide suspect say they haven't been paid for months and refuse to work for free. Attorneys Shelley Centini and Edward Rymsza claim the county courts arbitrarily capped spending for Mr. Selenski's defense. Ms. Centini and Mr. Rymsza are private practice attorneys who were appointed last year as special counsel for Mr. Selenski.
Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni will decide whether the attorneys will be allowed to withdraw.
