With the police found Alan Bono brutally murdered in his apartment, it shocked the residents

of Brookfield, Connecticut.

This was the first murder ever recorded in the town's 193-year history.

The case was seemingly open and shut, though.

Several people witnessed 19-year-old Arnie Cheyenne Johnson stab Alan

over 20 times. But when Arnie was taken into custody, he revealed something to the police

that was unlike anything they'd ever heard before. He claimed the devil made him do it. With the

help of two world-renowned paranormal investigators and all of the witnesses,

Arnie's attorneys sought to prove his innocence by pointing the blame at the devil.

This is the first and only case where demonic possession was used as a defense in an American courtroom.

Thank you. in an American courtroom. Welcome to 10-minute murder, brief and bingeable true crime.

I'm Joe, the host, and thank you for joining today.

In some personal news, I'm thrilled to announce that I've got a stuffy nose.

Again, I get them all the time.

But since the pandemic, you can't be too safe.

So I've taken cold medicine.

Actually, it's like cold and sinus stuff.

I've taken allergy medicine, but I take that on the daily anyway because I've got allergy issues.

And I've also sprayed the soothing throat spray, the singer's soothing throat spray that I've talked about on this podcast before.

It tastes like pepper, a licorice pepper, and it's awful.

I've done that, and I've washed it all down with some Diet Pepsi.

So hopefully that concoction mixes together.
