Fortune-teller is charged with fortune-telling

[Grammatron]

From the article:

The future is hazy for psychic adviser Carol Stevens, who goes on trial today in Bucks County Court on a charge of fortune-telling.

Without the benefit of a crystal ball, Stevens' attorney, William Goldman Jr., predicted she would plead guilty.

Stevens, known professionally as Bianca, allegedly charged a Doylestown woman more than $40,000 over the course of two months to rid her of negative energy.

In Pennsylvania, it is unlawful to take money for telling fortunes and predicting the future.

I'm torn on this; on one hand I'm glad she's being punished for stealing from ignorant people. On the other hand I don't know how you can make that a crime and leave out what major religions do. Some one mention on this forum that they paid to have their car blessed by a priest doesn't seem that much different from this.

The catholic church will generally take a lot longer than 2 months to suck 40K out of you.

On the other hand, your average "psychic advisor" is only interested in your money-----not your children.
