PART 5:
LAWYER
VICTOR ZAMMIT CROSS-EXAMINES SKEPTIC James RANDI
(This
would be fairly close to a real cross-examination- the information
is taken from what closed-minded materialist J.Zwingi Randi
has ALREADY ACCEPTED and IMPLIED. Some very minor flexibility
and embellishment consistent with Zwingi Randi’s beliefs
and record have been used for easier reading and understanding
of the script. Words in caps are there for emphasis - very
important in cross-examination).
Part 5: ‘CROSS-EXAMINATION’
– THE POLICE v Randi
Victor: Have you been rubbishing
the police lately?
Randi: No, no, no … I have
a lot of respect for the police … I think they do
marvelous work …
Victor: Have you ever attacked the
COMPETENCE of the police?
Randi: Never! As I said, the police
do marvelous work for the people … we owe a great
deal to the police … I never attacked the competence
of the police …
Victor: Have you ever indirectly
called the police ‘frauds’?
Randi: No, no … I have not
… I never do …
Victor: Do you think the police
are smart and tough …
Randi: Absolutely! They have to
be very smart and very tough to deal with tough criminals
and troublemakers …
Victor: Are you familiar with the
police officers there in Vero Beach in Florida?
Randi: (cautiously) I don’t
know them personally … but I am sure they are police
with integrity …
Victor: One of the cases involved
senior police officers Captain Larry Tippins and Sergeant
Phil Redstone of the River County Sherriff’s Office.
Some years ago they investigated the Ling case – where
Mrs Ling and her 17 year old daughter were brutally executed
– are you familiar with the case?
Randi: No … I’m not
..
Victor: These two senior police
officers I mentioned worked on the case - it went completely
cold and they had no more leads. So they called on a former
police officer Phil Jordan, who is now a gifted psychic
helping the police. Now both these officers stated on television
to millions of people in the United States and around the
world, that the psychic was very helpful. Captain Larry
Tippins said, “The psychic helped us to put these
criminals away and certainly opened my eyes to use psychics
in the future” Sergeant Redstone stated in his own
words, "I will use psychics again". Now, why is
it that highly respectable, highly intelligent and highly
experienced, tough senior police officers accept the existence
of the paranormal and you don’t. Would you be calling
these senior officers FRAUDS?
Randi: No they’re not frauds,
but they’re wrong about the psychic … besides
that’s hearsay …
Victor: Your Honor, the police statements
are expressed in direct speech - what the police officers
themselves actually said. It’s NOT coming through
a third party. What the police said about the psychic in
direct speech is critical. The issue here is not whether
what the police stated was true but the fact that the senior
police officers actually said what they did. (Victor looking
at Randi). Of course, it will be up to the members of the
jury whether to believe the senior police officers ... or
to believe the defendant….
Judge: Yes, yes, go on …
Victor (to Randi): You mean to say
that highly intelligent, highly experienced, highly qualified
police officers with many years experience were fooled by
a PSYCHIC – IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE
SAYING?
Randi: No no, no …
Victor (going towards Randi): Is
it not also possible that YOU don’t understand what
a psychic is and what a psychic does?
Randi: I do …
Victor: Or is it above your head
that the police deal with psychics because they help them
get PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to convict criminals.
Randi: (Does not answer …
then quietly) … a one off that could have been mistaken
as psychic …
Victor: A ONE-OFF you suggest? (addressing
His Honor … item G – court attendant gives copies
to the members of the jury) … Here is a list of highly
experienced tough senior police officers – their cases
taken from the documentary television series PSYCHIC DETECTIVES
and PSYCHIC INVESTIGATORS. These police officers stated
on television to millions of people in the United States
and around the world that they obtained critical PHYSICAL
EVIDENCE which CLOSED the cases as a result of information
given to them by gifted psychics and mediums. I will quote
the police officers word for word.
(Victor looks at the members of
the jury) I refer to case number 1- the Nicole Arochas murder.
After working with gifted psychic Frank St John, senior
police officer Captain William Gawron of SAYREVILLE Police
Department confirmed about this psychic, “I was skeptical
at first … I still don’t know how they do what
they do … but I certainly would work with a psychic
again in the future.” Detective Novak of Sayreville
Police said, “The (psychic) does indeed have special
psychic powers … I certainly would like to have that
power!”
Case number 2: Kurt Hameline, Assistant
District Attorney of Oneida County stated words to the effect
that using psychics was critical in catching the murderers.
Phil Jordan gave the police critical information –
some fifteen most relevant facts – which led to the
arrest and conviction of three murderers now serving 100
years in prison each. Sheriff Bill Hasenaurer of Oneida
Country Sheriff’s Office, stated “I accept the
psychics’ role in helping with murder cases –
and I will call them again – because they get results.
I am now a great BELIEVER IN PSYCHICS HELPING THE POLICE”.
Sgt. Lynton Clark of Oneida Sheriff’s Office said,
"Yes, I completely agree about the use of psychics
in solving murders.
Case Number 3- the Sylvester Tonet
case: Gifted psychic Nancy Myer gave information to detective
Will Greenaway from Montroeville that made it possible for
the Monroeville Police to find the missing man. Detective
Will Greeway said - to quote him, "I was skeptical
at first, but as the psychic began to forward information
about the case, I knew I was dealing with a genuine psychic
because all information was deadly accurate …”
Case Number 4- The Shilie Turner
murder: Gifted psychic Valerie Morrison was contacted by
Detective Frank Martin of Philadelphia Police Dept on a
recommendation from the FBI. The case had gone completely
cold. The victim was Shilie Turner, 21 year old Olympic
hopeful female athlete who failed to return home one night.
Valerie Morrison assisted the police to obtain physical
evidence which led to the closing of the case. Detective
Martin said, “All the information given to us by the
psychic was ONE HUNDRED PER CENT CORRECT.”
Case number 5: Detective Lou Masterbone
from Morris County Sheriff’s office stated in the
Keyes Children abduction case: “If it wasn’t
for Nancy Weber (psychic), in this case we would not have
gotten the (kidnapped) children back … her insight,
her help … we could not have done it without her.”
Case number 6: . Detective Joseph
Uribe of Montana Dept. of Justice stated that the assistance
given by gifted psychic Noreen Renier in the missing person
Walter Sullivan case was “accurate in every detail.”
Case number 7. The Rose Swartwood
case - Detective David Olszowy, Sergeant Charles Patterson,
Lt. Mike Mucci from Cheming County Sheriff’s department
New York were involved in the investigation of a murder.
Lieutenant Mike Mucci called Phil Jordan, psychic who was
a former police officer. Lt Mucci stated that the psychic
was “one hundred per cent correct with the information
given”. Other police officers also stated that the
psychic was brilliant: “I don’t care how it
(psychic phenomena) works. I don’t know how it works
and I don’t care how it works – the main thing
is that the bad guy gets caught.”
Case number 8: The Kidnap Murder
of Jamie Case involving Midwest City Police Department,
Oklahoma City Police Department and County Sheriff’s
Office. Detective Paul Zeckman said, (supported by Detective
Dan Evans, Police Officer Patrick Quigley, and Assistant
District Attorney Diedre Esherman, and Detective Pam Garrick
– all in agreement), “I don’t know how
these psychics do it. But they perform a service we cannot
ignore. One day psychic witnesses testimony will be admitted
as evidence. In the past DNA and polygraphs were not admitted
in evidence, so it will be only a matter of time before
psychic evidence will be admitted because of the critical
information they give us to solve murders.”
Case number 9. The Murder of ‘Owen
E’. Lompoc Police Department – near Santa Barbara
– engaged the services of brilliant psychic Dixie
Yeterian who has a record of assisting other police departments
and the FBI. Detective Mel Ramos (Ret.) of Lompoc Police
Department stated, “The psychic solved the mystery
really… the psychic accurately described what happened
to the murdered father.” He added … “but
for her psychic skills the murder would not have been solved
because the matter came to an absolute dead end.”
Case number 10. Police sergeant
Richard Keaton of Marin County Police Department homicide
division with 30 years of experience stated in a 1998 program
(prepared by Discovery Communications for the Science of
the Impossible series) that he often calls in psychic Annette
Martin. He stated: “She actually obtains the critical
information - physical evidence. I don’t ask too many
questions because I have seen too many successes …
When Annette comes to the (Police) Department we normally
sit in a quiet office. I give her a brief outline of what
the case is about. Annette concentrates … goes into
meditation … and starts sharing verbally with us the
things she’s seeing or perceiving … we take
her to the crime scene … and would ask her what she
can see … about evidence … and she’s able
to replay that like a video tape like a movie …”
Case number 11. Mt Pleasant Police
Department (Iowa) Police Chief August Hagers said of psychic
Phil Jordan after the case was completed, “Psychics
have their place … what Phil had seen was accurate
… they (psychics) have something we don’t have
… they have a sixth sense. I would do it again and
call psychic Phil Jordan.” This had to do with the
brutal killing of Clementine Beavers and her sixteen year
old daughter. The case had gone completely cold until the
psychic was called in to assist.
Case number 12- The disappearance
of Norman Lewis. This case involved WILLISTON POLICE DEPARTMENT,
FLORIDA. Senior Detective Slauter and Sergeant Baxter called
in psychic Noreen Renier when the case went cold. Senior
detective Slauter said, "Noreen Reiner - the psychic
gave us everything we needed to find Mr Lewis ... and I
am convinced that if we didn't use a psychic in this case,
Mr Lewis would still be at the bottom of that quarry ...".
Case number 13- The murder of Norma
Hofer. Captain Gary Colla, from the Santa Clara Sheriff’s
Department, said about gifted psychic Donielle Gordon, “
… she gave me accurate information the first time,
why can’t it be true for the second time?” and
the Captain continues, “… it turns out that
Donielle was an investigator too, like a fingerprint expert
or an expert analyzing clothing fiber …was one piece
of the puzzle that helped bring it all together. Well done
job.” And Deputy Michelle Sandri who worked on the
case with Captain Gary Colla, said, “ (what Donielle
the psychic did) … makes you believe in psychics.
Because of the psychic we resolved it real quick instead
of taking months or years …”
Case number 14- Assistant District Attorney of Jefferson
Parish Office, W.J. Le Blanc could not resolve a crime concerning
the brutal murder of Janet Myers. He called gifted psychic
Rosemary Kerr. After the crime was solved and the case was
closed, Assistant District Attorney said, “Rosemary’s
contribution to this case was significant …I relied
on Rosemary for details …There are clearly individuals
in this world who have an ability that are beyond our normal
five senses. Rosemary (the psychic) is such a person.”
Case numbere 15. Virginia’s
Staunton Police in 1979– Deputy Ronnie Whisman said
about psychic Noreen Renier, “We (the police) were
impressed by the psychic on the important information she
was able to give us … everything she said about the
case came true.” Special Agent Darrel Stilwell said,
“ .. obviously she has (psychic) power … gives
you something extra to work with.” Deputy Ronnie Whisman
asked the psychic “when will the rapist be caught?”
The psychic replied, “Before Christmas.”The
crimanal was caught on the 22nd December 1979.
Judge: Mr Zammit, how far do you
want to go with this?
Victor: Your Honor, these are just
fifteen cases selected from fifty cases. They represent
how informed police officers perceive gifted psychics who
helped them to solve crime. All the police are saying the
same thing in all these fifty reports: that they find psychics
help them collect the physical evidence to convict the accused
or to find missing persons. I don’t want to waste
the court’s time and I don’t think at this stage
it is necessary to add more of the same type of evidence
to make the point … besides members of the jury have
the list ...
His Honor: Yes, yes, go on ....
Victor to Randi: Now, are you saying
that these hardened, tough senior police officers who repeatedly
stated that psychics were critical in helping them find
the physical evidence they needed to solve crimes are being
fraudulent to millions of viewers around the world?
Randi: (Very quiet, no response
…..)
Victor: Yes … that says it
all!
