Possessed man commits murder

"He said the voice came from the walls. He said it told him to do things — things he couldn't control. Then one night, the voice told him to pick up a knife. And he listened."In this disturbing true crime episode, we investigate cases where murderers have claimed demonic possession, divine command, or external voices as their defense. Are they insane? Lying? Or genuinely experiencing a psychotic break that leads to violence? We analyze interrogation transcripts where suspects describe their "possessions" in chilling detail — from the moment the voice first spoke to the moment they came to their senses standing over a body.Featuring forensic psychiatrists, legal experts on the insanity defense, and theologians who have served as expert witnesses in possession cases. We also examine the rare cases where possession claims were accepted in court, leading to mental health commitments rather than prison. Listener discretion advised — graphic content. Press play for the terrifying intersection of psychology, spirituality, and murder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/red-tree-crime--6847553/support.
