An Olympia, Wash., jury has sided with Ramtha School founder JZ Knight in her breach of contract lawsuit against another spiritual teacher called Whitewind Weaver.
Thurston County Superior Court jurors deliberated less than two hours Monday before awarding a little more than $10,000 to Knight. That's the amount that Weaver's company, Life Coaching Inc., received from an August 2006 seminar where the contract violations occurred.
After watching video clips of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment seminars chosen to match with those at Weaver's seminar, jurors decided that Weaver violated terms of the Yelm-based school's registration certificate, which says the school's teachings are for students' personal use only.
Weaver attended 12 classes or retreats at the Ramtha school before conducting her own workshop in nearby Rainier. Weaver says she's satisfied that she stood up for what she believes is right.
