Bountiful • Two of the three doctors who evaluated a Centerville man who allegedly shot his neighbor because he believed the man had "telepathically" threatened him and his wife say the man is competent to stand trial.
After half a day of testimony from Michael L. Selleneit’s three evaluators, 2nd District Judge Thomas L. Kay took the matter under advisement Wednesday and will issue a ruling later this month.
In October 2011, Selleneit allegedly shot his neighbor, 41-year-old Tony Pierce, who was working in the yard outside his home at 555 N. 400 West. According to the charges, Selleneit told police he was acting in self-defense when he shot Pierce, claiming his neighbor had "telepathically" threatened him and his wife and had "telepathically raped" his wife many times.
He faces a charge of attempted murder and illegally possessing a firearm.
Selleneit’s claim of self defense is why one evaluator, Eric Nielsen, said he believed the 54-year-old man is unable to stand trial.
"He seems to be intent on defending himself based on psychotic symptoms," Nielsen said.
Defense attorney Julie George said Selleneit has had delusions about being threatened with violence and his wife raped since at least the late 1990s. Selleneit believes his neighbor has "sex parties" with his wife while he is in the next room, and has said that rock guitarist "Eddie Van Halen comes into his mind and helps him occasionally," according to his attorney.
"Those are about as bizarre as I think a delusion can get," George said in court as she argued for Selleneit to be sent to the Utah State Hospital. "It’s locking him into a belief system that makes it impossible for him to work with me."
Selleneit has been diagnosed with an "organic brain disorder with a labile affect, periodic delusional thought process, poor judgment [and] poor impulse control," according to court documents. As a teenager, Selleneit suffered a brain injury in a car crash, and doctors have said he is "mentally ill and very likely will be the rest of his life," court documents state.
According to testimony Wednesday, Selleneit believed Pierce was having sex parties with his wife and was using crack-cocaine to control her mind.
