The Conjuring 3: true story
As well as Annabelle It is based on real events, in the same way it happens with The spellwhose third installment is based on Arne Cheyenne Johnson Trial Story, who allegedly committed murder while possessed. In fact, it was the first known court case in the United States in which the defense alleged demonic possession.
On February 16, 1981, Arne took the life of his landlord, Alan Bono, at knifepoint, after a night of drinking during which he allegedly tried to outdo himself with a friend of Arne’s girlfriend, Debbie, who was also with them. It was the first recorded murder in the town of Brookfield, Connecticut.
Months before these events, Debbie’s younger brother, David Glatzel, had been tried by the Warrens for possession and they had even performed an exorcism on him together with a priest; on one occasion, Arne was present and challenged the demon, challenging him to a showdown. After this event, David began to recover, while his brother-in-law began to act aggressively and erratically.
During the trial the Warrens were involved and the defense was based on the paranormal events suffered by the family; however, the judge refused to take up the issue of demonic possession as a plea. Ultimately, Arne was convicted of first degree murder, but served only 5 years in prison.
«I have faith. If he could put the Pope on them he would tell them that Arne is a guy possessed by a demon, that he is not responsible.”
Said the defense attorney in the case, Martin Minellato journalist Lynn Darlling in an interview published by the Washington Post in 1981.
