Failure to deliver psychic services gets woman 4 years in prison
Pam Louwagie
Star Tribune
Wednesday, July 25, 2001
She probably should have seen it coming.
A woman from Albert Lea, Minn., who advertised psychic services in
tabloid newspapers, collected money from customers, then apparently
didn't deliver on her promises was sentenced Tuesday in federal court
to more than four years in prison.
Merna J. Sunde, 67, pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering in
a scheme that prosecutors say bilked more than 100 people of more
than $465,000.
She was sentenced to four years and three months in prison and
ordered to pay $465,161 in restitution.
A codefendant, Scott B. Taylor, 37, was sentenced Tuesday to two
years and three months in prison and ordered to pay $82,410 in
restitution. A student at Minnesota State University Mankato, Taylor
was convicted in November of five counts of mail fraud and one count
of conspiracy to launder money.
The advertisements offered to use psychic powers to return lost lovers,
advance careers, provide winning lottery numbers and remove hexes,
curses and spells, for a fee, officials said. Sunde also offered to get
people grants for a fee, saying she knew wealthy people and
government sources.
When the promises didn't come through, some victims who kept
inquiring about the status of services were threatened.
They were told that tragic events would happen in their lives or the
lives of their families and friends, the indictment said.
After a grand jury indicted the pair last year, Sunde, who has said she
was ordained through a California church, claimed that the government
was violating her First Amendment right of religious expression.
But U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson said Tuesday in court in St.
Paul that he didn't buy it.
"The court is convinced that this matter clearly falls outside of the
First Amendment, that this conduct is criminal conduct under the guise
of the First Amendment," Magnuson said before sentencing Sunde.
Instead, he said, it is a case of somebody trying to rip somebody off.
Defense attorney Paul Applebaum argued in court Tuesday that Sunde
was trying to deliver the services.
"How does the government know that psychic services weren't
provided?" Applebaum said. Referring to one victim who paid Sunde
several installments, Applebaum said: "I have to assume if the guy is
sending that much money, he must be deriving some benefit from it."
Taylor's attorney, Earl Gray, claimed that Taylor had simply befriended
Sunde and let her use a mailbox of his. He said Taylor didn't know
the extent of Sunde's operation.
She was originally indicted on 94 counts, but 93 were dismissed in
exchange for her guilty plea.

Trio Charged with Lottery Murder
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia has charged three men with
the bizarre 1999 murder of an American woman who was apparently
slain in a ritual to glean winning lottery numbers.
The three did not enter a plea to the magistrate's court in northern
Perak state, the national Bernama news agency reported on Friday. If
found guilty they face the death penalty.
Carolyn Jamica Noraini Abdullah, a 35-year-old mother of four,
disappeared in Perak in November 1999. Her car was later found
abandoned with bloodstains on the seat.
In June a suspect led police to her body in a shallow grave on an oil
palm estate near Ipoh, Perak's capital.
Police say the woman may have been lured to the estate with promises
of meeting a local priest who could help her overcome personal
problems.
They say her murder may have been a sacrificial killing to get winning
numbers for a popular four-digit lottery.
Belief in black magic is still fairly common among superstitious
Malaysians.
Although rare, there have been instances of human sacrifice before --
most linked to people praying to spirits for lucky numbers.
The men will reappear in court on August 28.
