That the cop heard "Tom" doesn't mean anything. It hasn't helped the case. It isn't even the arrested guy's name. We don't even know if the "Tom" name that he heard was "heard" a year ago, or heard two days after Svekla was arrested! There's no proof here.

But this is how psychics seem so real; the odd guess that turns out true and vague statements that can be construed the maximum number of ways are shown as "proof" and people who want to believe put it in their mind as supporting the concept. And if it's shown to be false then oh well, there's lots of other proof. Except that proof is all false too.

If the cop wants to waste his personal time on it, that's fine. As long as public dollars aren't going to pay for it.

But since there's "lots" of examples, surely there's another one that shows a case that was solved as a direct result of psychic's input?
