I heard about this fella. Didn't Whatstheharm.net have an entry about him? Or was that some other judge in the same country who lost his job because he believed in psychic powers?
Hilarious story, anyway. It doesn't get much loopier than this. ETA: Nope, the same one: http://whatstheharm.net/psychics.html |

Just playing devils advocate for a second.
What if there was a judge that credited his judgements to something weird, but had a great track record and no cases that would be judged different by a judge that did not? |
