    Her mom told investigators that her daughter was possessed and said that God “took” Arely during the exorcism because she was not meant to be a mother.

    The grandfather told police Claudia said her daughter ‘was not a normal girl.’ When Rene arrived at the ritual, Arely was alive, but her mom said she was going to die, he told investigators.

    Defense attorneys have argued the suspects did not intend to kill Arely.

    Sure sounds an awful lot like the mother planned for that poor kid to die.

    And all this occurred within a church. Where are the charges against the church?

        Yeah she should have made this decision much earlier but maybe saving her daughter from a life of misery.

          Aborting a pinhead sized embryo is murder in cold blood, but using religious delusions as a shaky excuse for a premeditated murder of an infant is just religious practice people can’t be held accountable for.

          Ameeericaa, fuck yeah.

            They’ll definitely be held accountable. To what degree I don’t know, but there has been precedent set to overrule religious expression in the event of murder.

      Sounds like they intended to kill the child and came up with this exorcism bullshit to try to argue “Religious Freedom” in court
