Devil Made Me Do It
"Devil Made Me Do It" refers to the legal defense used in some criminal cases, where the defendant claims that they were influenced or controlled by a supernatural force, such as the Devil. This defense gained notoriety in the case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, who was charged with murder in 1981. His defense team argued that he was possessed by a demonic entity, which led to his actions.
The phrase is also associated with the Conjuring film series, particularly the third installment, titled "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It." This film is based on the real-life events surrounding the Johnson case and explores themes of possession, exorcism, and the battle between good and evil.
