On February 16, 1981, 19-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson, a regular teenager with no previous history of violence or criminal record, stabbed his landlord Alan Bono to death with a pocketknife. After he was arrested Arne made the incredible claim that the Devil Made Him Do It. In court Arne told how his possession started with the 11-year-old brother of his fiancée, Debbie Glatzel, who repeatedly encountered an old man who would taunt him, things got worse and after calling in Ed and Lorraine Warren it was concluded David was possessed by the Devil. After exorcisms were performed on David, he was still suffering so Arne Johnson started taunting the demonic presence, telling it “Take me on, leave my little buddy alone”. In court Arne’s attorneys, aided by the Warrens, tried to enter a plea of “not guilty by reason of demonic possession.” It was the first time in history that a defense like this was used in an American courtroom. However judge Robert Callahan ultimately rejected the plea, saying it was impossible to prove and Arne Johnson was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison, but only served five. Whilst Johnson was in jail Gerald Brittle’s book ‘The Devil in Connecticut’, was published with help from Lorraine Warren and Arne Johnson’s case was revealed to be the true story behind The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It 🎧 Check out the "Hit The Lights" Podcast available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, Google and everywhere else you get your podcasts! 🎧 Podcast Links: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6anlNMUERfwC7S0665z3wy Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-hit-the-lights-podcast/id1503579405 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS84MTIwMzkucnNz Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/b9116ded-48d9-4f42-ab95-1a74d32c0c89/the-hit-the-lights-podcast Our content isn't always ad-friendly, to support and also get exclusive access to our documentaries and documentary series, please take a look at our Patreon: ► https://www.patreon.com/Top5sOffical To submit any creepy personal stories or send in videos/photographs you may have caught over the years and can't explain, please email 👉 mystory@top5s.co.uk Our other channels 👇 🦖 DinosaurDiscovery: DINOSAURS https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzNwK_O14PRYEm5LBiiOAgw 🪐 AccessAstronomy: SPACE & ASTRONOMY https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpbMdDya7ubh013QGe0JqHA 🔎 ColdCaseDetective: TRUE CRIME https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdjslyNQupPSFxK_mSPcG-g 🪖 WarsofTheWorld: MILITARY HISTORY https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB29sxIJ9PQIo0hCnIaOMbg 👽 DestinationDeclassified: ALIENS & UFOs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfxuwHJ4cQHgf1ez7662_fQ ⚔️ MedievalMadness: MEDIEVAL HISTORY https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWoMpx18YeSVuI7ObqEk8eg Music by CO.AG: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcavSftXHgxLBWwLDm_bNvA Thanks for watching.
