FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Television psychic Miss Cleo repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination Wednesday, refusing to discuss a birth certificate showing she was born in Los Angeles to American parents.

Miss Cleo, whose real name is Youree Dell Harris and who has claims to be a Jamaican shaman, was giving a deposition in a civil suit filed by Florida.

The suit accuses her of deceptive trade practices for her television ads pitching a psychic hot line that charged up to $4.95 a minute.

Assistant Attorney General Dave Aronberg told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that on Wednesday, he went line by line through Harris' birth certificate, asking her if it was accurate. Each time she took the Fifth Amendment, he said.

Harris' lawyer, William Cone Jr., said the closed-door interview went well and his client said she felt wonderful.

"I won't give the devil his due. I praise the father for every day that I have," said Harris.
