NBC Bay Area: Hearing begins in San Jose girl's apparent exorcism death case
Monday’s preliminary hearing finally began in the case of a young girl killed in what police describe as an exorcism-like ritual back in 2021.
She’s only identified as Arely Doe. It happened inside a backyard church the family used to run.
One of the lead investigators in the case took the stand to describe his interviews with the three defendants.
He said the girl's mother Claudia Hernandez told him “God had taken her Child” because Arely was possessed with a demon.
