The Big Picture 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.
After returning from lunch, Alan was playing his music too loud and was very clearly intoxicated. Debbie tried to whisk Wanda and Mary away, but Alan grabbed Mary in opposition. The next moments seemed like they were a blur, but eventually, Debbie was in between Alan and Arne, trying to stop the two from fighting. Unfortunately for all of them, the thing that stopped the arguing was a knife that came piercing down into Alan's skin.
David was seeing shadowy figures, toys, and objects moving on their own, and he was living in fear at every turn. When the supposed possession progressed too far, the matriarch of the family Judy Glatzel, called Ed and Lorraine Warren. The two were notorious in the Connecticut area at the time for the Amityville case. TIME notes that, because of his condition, the Warrens and Glatzels were approved for an exorcism from the Catholic Church.
Carl found out after his mother's passing that there was a more logical explanation for what happened to David that led to Arne claiming the possession. Carl found a note that mentioned that she had given her family their "medicine." The medicine in question was Sominex, a sleeping aid. Carl noted that some of the side effects of excessive Sominex include mood swings, weight gain, and hallucinations. So to him, it's possible that David was suffering from those side effects.
