Though her stalker had made numerous death threats to Selena and even himself admitted he was a threat to the young pop star, the courts weren’t doing much to keep him away. Finally today, a judge approved a 3-year restraining order against Thomas Brodnicki after agreeing Brodnicki posed a serious danger to her safety. The judge had previously refused to enter the long-term order because Brodnicki had not been present to tell his side of the story. Luckily, the stalker submitted a declaration saying, “a restraining order should be issued against me to prevent me from trying to contact Selena.” Scary stuff!
