A self-proclaimed psychic accused of conning a woman out of more than $1 million has been sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison, the Office of Statewide Prosecution reported.

A "self-proclaimed" psychic was sentenced Friday to nine and a half years behind bars after alleged $1.4 million scam

On Friday, A jury found self-proclaimed psychic Jaycee Wasso guilty of organized fraud and seven other counts of fraud and theft.

The attorney for a self-proclaimed psychic who is on trial for fraud offered a rather unorthodox argument in her defense by positing that she cannot be found guilty because she actually lived up to her promise to thwart the evil spirits that plagued her client.

Another twist came in the psychic fraud trial of Jaycee Wasso when the state’s star witness, Lin Halfon, admitted under cross-examination Thursday that she, not Wasso, is the one who stole $1 million from her wealthy older husband in 2019.

A Tampa jury heard about dark spells, fraud, and a fortune-teller named Jaycee Wasso on Tuesday. 

Even with her psychic powers, Jaycee Wasso probably did not see a criminal trial in her future, but that’s exactly what’s happening next week.

The winding tale of a young wife, her rich husband, and a psychic who allegedly conned them into giving her loads of cash has taken several turns, but now the psychic's lawyer says the rich man's son was an acquaintance of one of the psychic's family members.

As a self-proclaimed psychic prepares for trial, it was revealed that the victim's son knows one of the men recently arrested in the elaborate scam. The defense thinks it's shady and not a coincidence, but prosecutors disagree, saying there is nothing there. 

A psychic accused of scamming her client and the client's rich husband out of more than $1 million is set to head to trial.
