I wonder what Allison DuBois thinks of this story:
'Ghost' helps acquit murder suspect
Two letters said to be dictated by a ghost helped acquit a woman of murder in Brazil.
The letters, written by a medium who claimed they were from the victim, were used as evidence in a murder trial in Viamao.
The medium claimed the spirit had revealed that the woman accused of his murder was innocent.
A jury declared Iara Marques Barcelos, 63 not guilty of the killing Ercy da Silva Cardoso.
Mr Cardoso was shot dead in his home in 2003. Mrs Barcelos was accused because she was the victim's lover and was angry he wanted to leave her.
The defence lawyer told Folha de Sao Paulo: "The letters were a low blow and they were decisive to the verdict."
A court spokesman said the letters were accepted as evidence because the prosecution lawyers made no objection.
Letters dictated by a ghost? Surely Allison is the secretary to the dead? And I’ll bet John Edward is jealous – the only letters he gets from dead people are R, J and M.
But at least we now have evidence that psychics and mediums can get people off charges for committing crimes. Of course, we’re still waiting for any evidence that any psychic (including the one in this story) can determine who did commit a crime, or find the dead bodies, or in fact tell us anything useful. But it’s a start, I suppose.
No, I said R or J or M. J! Write it down.
