Netflix’s ‘The Devil on Trial’ True Story – Was Arne Johnson Possessed?

Just in time for Halloween, Netflix has released a true-crime documentary called The Devil On Trial. What's so special about this one? This is the very first time in US history that possession has been used as a defense on a murder trial. So long to claim the clinically insane, this trial levitated right past that and made claims that a man committed murder because of the devil being inside of him. The spectacle gained national attention and was coined "The Devil Made Me Do It" trial. If you're familiar with the Conjuring universe, this may sound familiar to you. The third of the core movies is called The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and it was based on what happened that led to this trial. The Devil On Trial is a look inside how a supposed religious experience had repercussions on not only the person possessed but the family adjacent to the possession.
