Summary from Wikipedia:
Emily Rose, a 19-year-old American teenager, dies of self-inflicted wounds and malnutrition following an attempted exorcism. Father Richard Moore, the Catholic diocesan priest who attempted the exorcism, is arrested and sent to court. While the archdiocese want Moore to plead guilty to minimize the crime's public attention, Moore instead plans to plead not guilty. Erin Bruner, an ambitious lawyer hoping to use the trial to become a senior partner in her law firm, takes on the case. Moore agrees to let her defend him if he can tell the truth behind Emily's story.
During the trial, Emily's past is told through flashbacks and the evidence provided by witnesses. Presiding over the trial is Judge Brewster, with Ethan Thomas, a practicing Methodist, serving as prosecutor. The prosecution claims Emily suffered from epilepsy and psychosis to explain her behavior. Emily received a scholarship to study for a bachelor's degree but displayed signs of demonic possession after she began attending classes, experiencing visions and physical contortions. Diagnosed with epilepsy, Emily received anti-seizure medication but the treatment failed to cure her. A friend named Jason took Emily back home to her family, where she continued displaying traits of possession until Moore was summoned to attempt an exorcism.
Bruner begins experiencing supernatural phenomena at home, waking up at 3:00 a.m. to the smell of burning material. Moore warns her she may be a target for the demons, revealing he too has experienced similar phenomena on the night he was preparing the exorcism. With the prosecution building a strong case, Bruner steps up her own by trying to legitimize Emily's possession.

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

@davidbjacobs3598 2 года назад

@@khamjaninja. Yeah, rewatching it feels like the defense's argument should be focused on Emily's apparent decision to go through with the exorcism. They would need to prove that this decision actually WAS made in an appropriate sane state of mind (as they talk about how Emily would "come back" between outbursts, but we're never shown this). They would need to show that she was aware of what the exorcism would entail and had the ability to consent. The prosecution, meanwhile, would need to show that the priest's actions actually caused her death and that it wasn't merely circumstantial. (If you throw holy water on someone who's bleeding out, and then they die, it isn't because you threw holy water on them.) I don't think this is clear within the movie. I also find it interesting that only the priest is charged. The parents, who also wanted the exorcism, are not on trial. Neither is the archdiocese who approved the exorcism (it even comes up the movie that he's afraid the priest's testimony will incriminate him, though this thread is dropped).

@10094926 2 года назад

FWIW, Eagle briefly mentions this is based off a real trial (Anneliese Michel, and it was in Germany, don't look up the photos it's so much gnarlier than the one in the movie), the cause of death was pretty clearly starvation, Annelise refused to eat, and the exorcism team was pronounced guilty bc they had a responsibility to ensure she had nourishment (feeding tube, IV) and refused to do so, to oversimplify. In short: Regardless of anybodies belief, & regardless of if Annelise was in the state of mind to agree to the exorcism, the priests where, in fact, negligent leading to her death. Also there where no doctors present & she claimed to be possessed by (iirc) 7 demons, including Hitler. That last one isn't rly relevant to the trial rly but it's memorable.

@cartooncritique6625 Год назад

@benedictifye 2 года назад

Should that be where the defense could have said “the facts will show” or “we will prove” that her condition was demonic possession?

@alexblake5369 2 года назад

@@benedictifye No, because the court won't decide on religious matters. What the defense should have said was, "The facts will show/prove that my client and Emily willingly and with full understanding took part in a spiritual treatment. The facts will shows that my client perform due diligence to prepare for said treatment and ensure it was safe. The facts will also show that under the circumstances my client did everything reasonably possible to save Emily and that her death, while tragic, was an accident." Granted I'm not a lawyer but I don't believe it matters what Emily's condition really was. What matters is that did Emily make an informed willing decision in her choice of care; and was the priest negligent in his services?

It was never publicly released what the final settlement was, only that it was significantly lower and that it didn't fully cover her expenses.

My mom was hit by a car when she was little which caused her to develop temporal lobe epilepsy from brain damage. She ALSO developed schizophrenia which continued to get worse as she got older. Schizophrenia can cause auditory and/or visual delusions as well as religious ideations. They can hear voices and see demons/spirits and believe their lives are in danger. During a psychotic break they can believe demons are after them etc. and they will behave in ways that are not "normal" because their delusions are very real to them. I've often wondered why schizophrenia causes people to hear several different voices speaking (and in most times saying horrible things to the person). It's a cruel disease that takes a persons' peace of mind. I feel for any person or family member affected by a loved one suffering in this way. I also wanted to add my mother never thought anything was wrong with her either and ended up becoming a ward of the state. She lives in a group home.

But before the doctor even said he prescribed medication, did tests and advised a specific treatment plan for her condition, she chose to not come in for further testing. So from what I understand it's not that doctors couldn't help her. It's that she didn't allow them to help her. Which is her choice. So to make that statement didn't really make her seem trustworthy or reliable to me right from the start, as she seemed to make claims that were proven to be incorrect already.

And there is a difference. The first one implies that it was the addition of the religious treatment that caused issues, in actuality it was the replacement of medical treatment with religious methods that was damaging.

@vrajesvari108 4 года назад

11:40 Objection. You say the defense's expert witness, a researcher on the phenomena of possession, is not admissible because it must be rooted in scientific knowledge. I think you are making a mistake in your understanding of what it is she studies. She is an anthropologist. One of the things anthropologists do is they look at the way humans experience and relate to the world and themselves across time and across cultures and try to draw conclusions about what those forms of experience and relating mean about humankind. The expert witness says that when humans experience possession, which is something humans have experienced across time and cultures, and that that experience of being possessed is an interpretation of a basic human experience. At least in the clip you provided in this video, she never says that there are actual spirits/demons out there possessing folks, just that the subjective experience of that happening is a fairly ubiquitous human experience as can be scientifically illustrated by ethnographic and neurological/psychological research.

@fallingpetunias9046 3 года назад

Yeah, I thought the point of that expert witness was to define possession as a psychosis and exorcism as a treatment to break this psychosis in a pseudo-medical manner. The expert witness could argue that it is a historically proven method of fixing similar cases.

@blacktimhoward4322 3 года назад

It's pretty simple. If you talk about possession, you lose scientific credibility

@SchwarzesSchaefle 3 года назад

I was also bothered by that. No anthropologist would claim that demons/other supernatural entities "objectively" exist, but rather that in order to understand human behaviour, we might sometimes have to act as if they do, because they exist for our informants and it is impossible to understand why they do what they do, if we do not fully engage with their worldview. Furthermore, the expert witness in the clip actually mentioned "hard science", neuroscience to be exact, which makes the claim that she is being unscientific even more audacious. Dissociative phenomena (as they may also occur as part of temporal lobe epilepsy, but much more commonly due to various environmental or chemical triggers) are fairly well studied and as the witness said are attested in most cultures across the globe. Studying them from the neuroscientific perspective (most recent finding here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32939091/ ) is important to develop treatments for instances when those phenomena occur as part of a disorder or are simply experiences as a negative force by the affected individual/s. However those phenomena have been interpreted indigenously in a variety of spiritual, religious, medical or other ways and those frameworks that people might use to make sense of their experiences are what ultimately guides how they will "deal with" them - which is why it is essential to also study those cultural aspects of dissociative experiences, because we are dealing with culturally embedded human beings, not neurons in a lab. As an aside, there is a very well-known and talented professor at my university, Prof. Sax, who has worked extensively on possession in Northern India and on the efficacy of rituals, including exorcisms, who interestingly enough found that possession cults often function as a sort of legal system in those parts of the world, with possessed mediums mediating between feuding clans etc. A list of his publications on the topic can be found here: www.sai.uni-heidelberg.de/ethno/index.php?page=staff/sax I recommend in particular "God of Justice" and "The Law of Possession".

@@IceMetalPunk couple of things to point out. the first is that Catholic Exorcists are supposed to determine if their might be a medical cause before starting an exorcism, since seizures, delusions, and many types of diseases or infections can be mistaken for Demonic Activity. By ignoring a medical professional's expert opinion in favor of the families, and outright advising against him, the priest is Negligent (he's also pretty much Negligent if he's Catholic, since a Catholic Priest is supposed to collect evidence and send it on to the Vatican for further investigation in cases like this). furthermore, as a PRIEST and not a DOCTOR, he really had no business giving Emily Rose any medical advice beyond "see a professional". the second is that the Prosecution is arguing that Emily Rose was mentally incapable of making an informed decision, which if successfully argued means that her opinion doesn't matter. since the charge is Negligence, it's more like a parent getting their child killed because they were "just faking sick" when they should've gone to the doctor.

The movie makes me cringe after learning about the case it's based on, that of a girl called Anneliese Michel. Her parents and two Roman Catholic priests were found guilty of negligent homicide due to their treatment of her. From Wikipedia: "On 1 July 1976, Michel died in her home. The autopsy report stated the cause was malnutrition and dehydration due to being in a semi-starvation state for almost a year while the rites of exorcism were performed. She weighed 30 kilograms (68 pounds), suffering broken knees due to continuous genuflections." Despite the horrific details of the case, "...Michel's parents and the two Roman Catholic priests were found guilty of negligent homicide and were sentenced to six months in jail (reduced to three years of probation), as well as a fine." For this film to portray a fictionalised version of one of Anneliese Michel's killers as some sort of hero is tasteless at best, or morally repugnant to be less charitable.

"The utter failure of the physicians" , i.e. Emily refusing treatment due to spiritual belief? Alrighty. Guess that's their failure. Expert scientist of the paranormal? Too bad Randy wasn't around so she could get that million dollars from his foundation.

Dunno what the Randy thing is, but if she wasn't taking her medication, then yeah, it's the failure of the physicians for not making sure she was aware enough of her condition and the risks involved with not medicating and stuff. If like people say she was so bad that she was unable to consent to the exorcism then why would they let her just leave and go home? Why wasn't she hospitalized? Why wasn't she kept in hospital after the initial episodes until she was on her way to recovery? Because that's not her fault if they barely check in on her and then ditch her to the care of whoever is around. Why wasn't she in some hospice or whatever? Why was there no care plan put in place to ensure she got better? Heck, with the same Merritt, how can she be lucid enough to legally refuse medication but also considered incapable of consenting to an exorcism? How is it the fault is only hers and the priest's but the medical professionals who knew what was going on and just said "m'kay" to her being discharged, going home and refusing medication aren't considered at all responsible or negligent?

Nonsense. She was taken by her parents to half a dozen doctors who provided medication of various kinds for epilepsy over the last 6 years of her life. The more moronic atheist propagandist has been climbing on your bandwagon of lies for years now, despite the fact that disproof of your assertion in the comment sections is to be found on just about any video you people post on re this unfortunate lady.

@@sweeety969 you'd have to get a civil commitment or conservitership... You can not force people into treatment unless you can deem them incompetent... She had the right to refuse medical treatment... Only in extreme circumstances can you force someone into hospitalization... It's one hell of a double edged far far too often...

OBJECTION: The Federal Rules of Evidence would be in a federal court case; a murder trial would (most likely) in state criminal court. The question is whether silliness is a rule in the relevant state criminal court.

@stevesmith9447 4 года назад

In which states is "silliness" a legally valid objection?

@pipersecretp3 4 года назад

@@stevesmith9447 I don't know. I think the more important question is in what state this movie takes place, and if there is a rule of evidence with regard to "silliness." However, I suspect that silliness would fall under frivolous court behavior, which I have seen in the rule books in my state.

@stevesmith9447 4 года назад

@@pipersecretp3 You have me there; identifying the state is a more important question! According to the film's IMDB trivia, the story is based on a true story from Germany, was shot in Vancouver, and was intentionally directed to establish no specific location for the story's events.

This film is based on the case of Anneliese Michel. In the real life story two priests as well as her parents were put on trial. Tapes were played and the six names said in the movie were also said in the tapes. All were found guilty of manslaughter through negligence, sentenced to six months in jail, which was later dropped, and three years probation.
