Mostly a shit post. Still after watching court dramas and remembering in civics talking about how supernatural explanations are difficult to use as reasonable doubt. What would happen if supernatural entities were proven a fact?

Oh I hadn't thought about possession. If it was a certainty, then I think that could be a reasonable doubt that could lead to acquittal, just like an insanity plea. I still think there would have to at least be some argument to show that someone likely was possessed, such as a psychological assessment to see if their "possessed" behavior was consistent with their usual behavior, if the human displayed knowledge that the human couldn't possibly have while possessed, or if there was any witness account of their head spinning around and their voice becoming deep and creepy during the supposed possession.
