Tony Pierce never touched  55-year-old Meloney Selleneit of Centerville, Utah. He didn't even speak to her.  That didn't stop Meloney from telling her husband, 53-year-old Michael Selleneit, that their neighbor had been sexually assaulting her.

How did he do it? He was doing it with his mind.

She said she was a victim of, quote, "telepathic rape."  Not only did Michael believe her . . he was also convinced the neighbor was using crack cocaine to control his wife's mind.  Obviously, SOMEONE was using crack, but I don't think it was Tony...

Michael was spitting mad.  Good news - he couldn't buy a gun because he was a convicted felon.  Bad news - Meloney bought a shotgun for him.  Then Michael pumped a couple of shells into Tony for his imaginary transgressions.

Fortunately, Pierce survived. And two years later the Selleneits are finally on trial. Meloney has pleaded guilty to attempted criminal solicitation and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person. Michael pleaded guilty to attempted manslaughter and use of a firearm by a restricted person.

He has been sentenced to anywhere from two to 30 years in prison. And she'll be sentenced next month. Both of them tried to plead insanity, but were denied. On the grounds that they're both too f***ing crazy to be insane.
