The prosecution has given many witnesses the opportunity to "tell their story" thus far. Isn't it interesting how Paul Weakley and Pat Russin know much about the "bodies" that have been recovered? They knew where to find the "bodies, who they were, how they were killed, how long the remains were burned, and so on. Let's not forget that Paul and Pat had "free access" to the Mt. Olivet property. It is also known that both guys were jealous of Hugo for reasons that stem back long before June 5, 2003. (a perfect reason to frame Hugo as well as to obtain lesser sentences for their crimes)
Hugo has made some bad choices in the past but he has admitted to them. He would never put his family through this ordeal if he were GUILTY. Did Hugo have a trial for the bank robbery? I think not.
As far as preferred seating for the victims' family and not for Hugo's family, that is totally unfair. While the victims' family is allowed to have front row seating, Hugo's family is given seating in the last row. Why should Hugo's family be treated as though they are " guilty until proven innocent"? Everyone involved in this case is going through emotional turmoil but they should all be treated equally. Hugo remains to be innocent until proven guilty and should be treated as such. His family did nothing to ask for this treatment except to provide support for Hugo. The national and local media get better seats than Hugo's family. That will definitely change!
Hugo is a great guy and has a tremendous support team including immediate family, relatives, and close friends. Hugo and Atty Fannick will prevail in this case!
