TikTok Psychic Appeals $10 Million Verdict in Idaho Student Murders Case
Ashley Guillard, a self-proclaimed psychic, is seeking relief from a $10 million verdict after a civil court jury found her liable for defamation against University of Idaho professor Rebecca Scofield. Guillard had falsely accused Scofield of being involved in the 2022 murders of four students, claiming Scofield ordered the killings to hide a romantic relationship with one of the victims. Guillard's accusations were based on tarot card readings and were widely disseminated on TikTok. Scofield sued Guillard for defamation, fearing for her safety and pointing out that she had never met the victims. Guillard has filed an appeal, arguing that the verdict does not align with the evidence or facts of the case.
