I was sued by a monkey!
Legal action is usually a serious affair, but sometimes court cases like these come along…
Found guilty by a GHOST
Back in 1994, after a four-week trial, stockbroker Stephen Young was found guilty of the gruesome double murder of Harry and Nicola Fuller.
The newlywed couple had been found shot dead in their home a year earlier and the $20,000 that car dealer Harry was known to have in the house was missing.
The grieving families believed justice had been served when Stephen was handed two life sentences.
However, a month later, the youngest juror, Adrian, 24, had an attack of conscience and wrote to the court.
Adrian revealed that while the jury had all been holed up in a hotel, four jurors had conducted a drunken seance to help them decide on a verdict.
‘Everyone had a few to drink,’ Adrian revealed. ‘We really needed to relax because the trial had gone on so long.’
Adrian said the subject of consulting a Ouija board came up and he’d laughed, thinking it was a joke.
But the next morning over breakfast, one of the group admitted that he and three female jurors had fashioned a Ouija board from paper and, using a wine glass, had made contact with the spirit of Harry Fuller.
Harry’s ghost had told them that Stephen had shot him and the jurors should find him guilty.
‘I was astonished that these grown-up people had played this child’s game,’ Adrian said. ‘I thought to myself, “This is someone’s life we’re dealing with.”’
After an investigation, a re-trial was ordered, but even without spiritual intervention Stephen Young was still found guilty and the sentence was upheld.
Nicola Fuller’s father said the Ouija jurors ‘made a complete joke of our
daughter’s death.’
