Battering Myself In The Head To Avoid Living With Rats


I saw a lot of crazy shit in South Central, Los Angeles but, until I was fully exposed to NewAge, I'd never had a full appreciation for the face palm.
Courts have ruled that fortune telling is free speech that is constitutionally protected by the First Amendment. Prosecutors say Marks made it a fraudulent crime when she promised to keep clients' money safe, cleanse it in rituals, and return it to them — because, they say, she never intended to give it back. 
Though jurors heard secretly recorded conversations, including one of Marks telling Deveraux in 2008 that much of the money Deveraux gave her had burned in the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Schwartz told the jury that prosecutors provided no evidence that Marks was lying about that and he also suggested it was possible Marks was just trying to cover her embarrassment that she didn't have the money to return at the time. 
A second client, Sylvia Roma of Houston, told jurors Marks also told her that her money had burned in the 9/11 attack, although she admitted she continued to give her money after that. 

This is the horrified palm-over-your-own-mouth move:


It's always appropriate, but I try to save it for special occasions,...
