The Case Of The Psychic, Lawyer, And The Thief

Hall was employed by Altea, a nationally known self-proclaimed psychic and ‘spiritual medium’ who has appeared on ‘Oprah’ and ‘Larry King Live,’ between 2001 and 2008 as an office manager and bookkeeper.

Hall’s Bennington-based attorney, David F. Silver, said Hall is a ‘decent, lovely, wonderful person’ who has ‘cooperated completely with the government.’ He said the plea agreement does not include sentencing, which will be determined by a judge.”

It’s hard to figure who’s the biggest scoundrel in this tawdry episode: The embezzler, the psychic or the judge?

Can human beings predict the future? The answer is a resounding no, therefore psychics are either mentally unbalanced or charlatans. The psychic obtained her fortune through deceit, I won’t shed any tears for her financial loss.

If Altea is such a gifted psychic, how come she didn’t know that her employee was robbing her blind?

Stealing is never justified, even when your victim is a con artist. I hope Hall serves a long stretch in prison; I have no love for crooks.

Then there’s the lawyer…

Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?
A: His lips are moving.

The scumbag lawyer referred to the woman who stole $200,000 from her employer as a “decent, lovely, and wonderful person”. If this shameless barrister represented Attila the Hun, he would describe him as “a big loving cuddly bear of a man.” The shyster attorney praised his client for “cooperating completely with the government.” The scheming counselor makes his client look like a patriot, the woman had no choice but to cooperate with the government if she wanted to avoid a long stretch in prison.

Who is the biggest crook? The lawyer wins hands down.

Q: Why does the law society prohibit sex between lawyers and their clients?
A: To prevent clients from being billed twice for essentially the same service.
