A woman Brazil was recently acquitted by a jury of the murder of her husband based in large part, suppossedly, on the testimony of a psychic who claimed to have channelled a letter from the murdered mans spirit, which was read in court, and which absolved the accussed woman of any guilt in her husbands death. He did bitch her out though, and declared that he had inteneded to leave her. No word on who the real kiler is.
Don’t bother starting over at the beginning, you saw it correctly. She was acquitted, based at least in part due to this testimony, by a jury. Well, why not, hell, the judge allowed, as a matter of fact, the prosection didn’t even object to it.
Who knows, maybe they have too many pressing issues on their minds right now. The recent gang violence in Sao Paulo, for exampe, where there has been open warfare being waged between criminal gangs and the police, based on gang attacks and in which police have kiled, as of last count, some thirty five gang members. Still, the open attacks, many of them conducted in broad daylight, right in the middle of the city, goes on unabated, with no solution yet in sight.
Some of them might be considering the broader impications of Brazils recent successful indoctrination into the seemingly ever growing nuclear club, as they have recently announced their successful results at experiments at enriching uranium.
All this, and not a word from the U.S. Yet, we’re all so worried about Iran.

Shit, who counts as a reputable psychic? Psuedo-magic-kians everwhere could be making tons of money as professional expert witnesses in Brazil and get out of our hair in the U. S. . . . Maybe they'd even be so nice as to publishe their lame books in Portuguese. (Oh! Except that might destroy their credibility even in Brazillian courts . . .)
OK, OK, enough wining about the lunatic fringe of "magickal" religion. But thanks for posting this . . . Very bizarre.
The most bizzarre thing about it, to me, is not so much that the jury delivered a Not Guilty verdict at least in part due to this tstimony, but that the prosecutors didn't challenge it, and the judge allowed it. In the mind of a lot of the jurors, this in itself was probably enough to give it the appearrance of a respectable, legitimate proceeding, and their own natural superstitous proclivities took over from there.
I would like to think, as well, that there were other factors that lead to the verdict, not just this one. But it's still incredible, just that it was allowed.
