The Devil on Trial
“Did the devil do it?”
Synopsis
The first and only time "demonic possession" has been officially used as a defense in a U.S. murder trial remains a singular and extraordinary case in legal history. The trial involved a shocking murder and firsthand accounts of alleged devil possession, raising profound questions about the intersection of faith, law, and the human response to the unknown. This case continues to provoke reflection on how society confronts the inexplicable and the boundaries of legal reasoning in the face of deeply held beliefs.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
