The Devil Takes a Lover

Back in 2003, 55-year-old pastor Gennaro Piscopo of Evangel Christian Church in Michigan was convicted of sexually assaulting a church member upon whom he was performing an exorcism. Now Piscopo's lawyers have requested a review of the case--citing the fact that some key information about his female accuser which was not allowed to be considered in the first trial. That information? The woman believed that she had previously been raped by a demon and diddled by Satan himself, who she says was living in her attic at the time. Also, about 100 people witnessed the exorcism in question, and no one else saw the woman being assaulted by Piscopo. Obviously this woman is insane, but I wonder why no one recognized this before arranging an exorcism. There's no amount of holy water that'll flush away the crazies. And by "the crazies", I mean anyone who believes in demonic possession. More details here.
