Florida cop who assisted in psychic scam sentenced to five years in prison
A police officer in Delray Beach, Florida, was sentenced to five years in prison last Wednesday for helping a psychic defraud elderly and ill people.

The Associated Press reports that officer Jack Makler pleaded guilty to fraud charges in February. In addition to the five years Makler will also have to serve three years of probation and pay nearly 300 thousand dollars in restitution. The fraud involved the psychic telling people that she could cure them of their serious illnesses by praying over their money. Makler was assigned to investigate some of those cases. He instead helped the woman to avoid prosecution and lied to investigators when questioned.
