Benefit fraudster blamed 'voodoo curse'

[Matty1973]

A very strange court case which included the defendant producing 2 of her child's fingers from her handbag to demonstrate that her family was suffering from a voodoo curse.

However "the jury was sceptical about her claim and certainly did not see it as legal grounds for acquittal. "

whoah, I had to read that to work out why the hell she had just been done for fradulently obtaining benefits and not child brutality.
Why oh why did she still have the fingers? nasty
