Courts Wrestle With Claims Of Church Fraud |
A jury has listened to weeks of accusations that the Church of Scientology defrauded a man when it promised him emotional and financial security and higher intelligence through Scientology. The man, Larry Wollersheim, who was a member of the church for 11 years, is seeking $25 million. Mr. Wollersheim said he spent more than $100,000 on church programs, including personal counseling, in the belief that they would make him more healthy, stable, confident and productive. |
