Crime doesn't pay

About a year ago, a high-profile murder suspect, Hugo Selinski, and an accomplice, Tim Bolton, escaped from the Luzerne County (PA) correctional facility but climbing out a 7th story window with bedsheets. First problem was, the bed sheets were only 5 stories long, and being that Tim had gone first, he got pushed off the end by Hugo, crashed onto an expanded roof landing, and became Hugo's personal pillow. Hugo was on the lam for 3 days and recaptured; Tim suffered spinal cord injuries in the fall and is now confined to a wheelchair.
Well, you know it's always somebody else's fault, so Tim has filed suit against Luzerne County and several prison guards, claiming, "If security would have been tighter, I wouldn't have been able to escape."

(Quoted County Commissioner Greg Skrepenak, "He serves as a human mattress for Hugo, and we're the ones who are to blame for it?")

When they operated on his spine, the doctors should have also performed a brain implantation.

And if he were living in Canada he would win his case. Our judges are mentally, emotionally and spiritually retarded.....and appointed by our government.

see, i absolutly believe that hugo didn't kill those people that they say he did. first off yes i know he did escape from prison and thats a crime but the guy who ratted on him (sorry i don't do good with names) but anyways he used to go to hugo's house and burn his garbabge there. at hugo place!! so i believe that the guy who burned his garbage there was the one who killed those people! another thing, i just got back from the prison an hour ago from seeing a family member and i saw hugo. he winked at me and he is asoltly gorgeous.. he is deffinatly innocent!!!
