A TexasA TikTok creator who claimed to have ‘psychic powers’ to falsely assert a connection with a universityIdahoThe professor was responsible for the killings of four students in 2022 and made a last-minute request in court following a ruling that he must pay $10 million in compensation for defamation.

Ashley Guillard, 41, from Houston, submitted an appeal notice on April 6 to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, as reported by theSeattle Times.

Guillard defended herself during a four-day trial in February in a civil defamation lawsuit filed against her by 40-year-old University of Idaho professor Rebecca Scofield.

A ‘psychic’ released over 100 videos depicting Scofield as the perpetrator right after the killings. The actual perpetrators wereBryan Kohberger.

A jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho unanimously agreed on the $10 million amount that Guillard was required to pay, which she promptly challenged.

The day after her conviction, she sent a message to The Idaho Statesman saying, “Unfortunately, since the verdict does not match the evidence or facts of the case, I have to file an appeal.”

I was hoping for a just and unbiased decision so that we could all proceed forward.

Scofield’s legal team chose not to respond to the Statesmen after the appeal.

Guillard claimedThe professor instructed the killings to avoid a scandal.She prevented one of the victims, 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, from coming forward.

Two TikToks explicitly claimed that Scofield ordered Goncalves’s death, despite the academic being entirely innocent of any misconduct.

Goncalves’s two roommates, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, along with Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, were also affected, according to Guillard.

When Kohberger first avoided the police, the situation persisted.

Numerous cease-and-desist letters and a defamation lawsuit in December 2022 came after Kohberger, 31, who was taken into custody following his trip to Pennsylvania, shortly after. He has since admitted guilt and received a life sentence in prison last year.

In a video published in December 2022, shortly after receiving the legal action, Guillard stated that Scofield would ‘regret’ the decision.

Scofield gave an emotional statement to a federal judge: “It felt like a stone on my chest that wasn’t crushing me, but was slowly wearing me down.”

I was falling apart under the pressure of it.

“We felt personally attacked,” Scofield said about herself and her family, speaking loudly to Guillard.

It seemed as if our children’s lives were in immediate danger – that my name was being mentioned by you, making terrible claims that were completely false and not even coming from the community where we had settled. It felt like an assault from outside.

Guillard testified during those hearings.

The TikTok tarot reader stated, “Claircognizance – we rely on intuition, not reality. The facts are handled by the police, not a psychic.”

The Seattle Times reported that the San Francisco Court, which oversees appeals from Idaho, established a deadline for submitting briefs in July.

Kohberger has already admitted to the murders. He is currently undergoing four back-to-back life sentences.
