"Psychic" gets a murder case totally wrong, is being sued.

[Archae]

And she's representing...herself.

1. Well, if she deliberately pointed to a totally innocent person, yeah, sue her and/or others like her,

for making up basically a false accusation. And the police and all who relied upon her 'readings' shouldn't have taken such readings seriously. Must be a mountain of other evidence to be used in arresting, charging, convicting, and sentencing criminals or suspects.

2. Latest update...

The "psychic" is saying she won, and is demanding a million $$$.

4. In Missouri, we long have had psychics around, especially near the Rolla/west of St. Louis region, at one time, they

seemed to have chased them all out, but then they seemed to come back even more so. I think that they put disclaimers on everything they do too, in their shops or reading parlors, e.g., 'for enjoyment purposes only' disclaimers'. Heck, you can drive West on I-44, and pass quite a few psychic parlors along the way towards Joplin MO from STLMO. I had one friend who wanted to go to a reading (in Rolla), and so I went along for the 'entertainment', of course they never really told you anything concrete. I would never go again, but I got a kick out of it.

I think they're taking advantage of the service men at Fort Leonard Wood, a big base located outside west of Rolla, MO on I-44.

11. That seems to be her claiming she *ought to* win, not that she has won

She claims she just did it "for the truth", but has continued to claim the innocent professor "might have" done it, even after the charging of someone else.

It looks like malice (and greed - hence the claim for $1m) to me, but I'm not confident US courts will see it provable that it's malice.

I can't find any news item later than that, so I guess this has not yet got to court, or been settled.

3. "Psychics" are charlatans and con artists

Nobody ever claimed The Amazing Randi's $1million Psychic Prize

The One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge was an offer by the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) to pay out one million U.S. dollars to anyone who could demonstrate a supernatural or paranormal ability under agreed-upon scientific testing criteria. A version of the challenge was first issued in 1964. Over a thousand people applied to take it, but none were successful. The challenge was terminated in 2015.

5. What, no flat earth?

No quackery list is complete without it.

8. Good point!

In all fairness, the image is not that new, so it's missing "MAGA Bollocks" section

6. Lawsuits will help.

Big judgments. Forfeited assets. Public shaming. These con artists hide behind constitutional religion and freedom of speech protections, so they're immune from criminal prosecution.

7. There are lots of genuine psychics who have worked with police forces and

been recommended for their beneficial assistance.

[Archae]

9. There aren't any "genuine psychics."

And they have never actually helped cops.

If you actually have evidence of any, let me know.
