Convicted serial rapist Benny Sela told a court he is unable to pay legal costs, claiming his family swindled him and that his public defenders are trying to sabotage him. He also said he was late to a previous hearing because he insisted on a yard walk, shower, and coffee before leaving prison.
Benny Sela, serving a life sentence for multiple rapes, appeared in court for a petition he filed against the Israel Prison Service (IPS). According to a report by Tuvia Yagelnik, Sela claimed he is financially destitute, alleging that his family stole his money. He also stated that he has fallen out with his public defenders, accusing them of attempting to sabotage his case. The court heard that Sela was late to a previous hearing because he agreed to leave his cell only after a yard walk, shower, and coffee. The petition is the latest in a series of legal moves by Sela against the IPS.
