Jail nurse accused of performing exorcism on inmate

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma jail nurse is accused of performing an exorcism instead of helping an inmate having a seizure.

According to The Oklahoman, witnesses say 67-year-old Linda Herlong Jackson performed the exorcism instead of helping the combative inmate.

During the Feb. 10 incident, Jackson allegedly uttered the words, "I revoke you demons." A deputy was eventually able to step in and stopped the exorcism.

The inmate, identified as 32-year-old Amanda Freeman, died the next day. An autopsy determined she died from a coronary event due to methamphetamine use.

Exorcism stopped. Demon-possessed dies.

Perhaps they should not have stopped it?
