Massachusetts Man on Trial for Allegedly Drowning Father in 'Exorcism'

Jack Callahan, 22, faces murder charges for the 2021 death of his father, which he claimed was an attempt to exorcise a demon.

The trial of Jack Callahan began this week, with the prosecution alleging he drowned his father in a pond during a supposed exorcism.
Callahan, who was 19 at the time of the incident, told police he believed his father was possessed by a demon named 'Dirty Dan'.
Witnesses testified about the events leading to Scott Callahan's death, including an altercation at Island Creek Pond.
The defense argues that Jack Callahan was experiencing a mental health crisis during the incident.
The trial is expected to last about a week and a half, with Callahan having pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
