Bushey's attorney, Thomas Steinman, argued that Bushey thought God would bring Middlesworth back to life.

"A miracle like that is part of the Christian faith," Steinman said. "He truly believed she would come back from the dead."

Bushey told them that a demon was making the body decay and that they weren't praying hard enough to bring Middlesworth back to life...

Prosecutors said Bushey kept the body hidden so he could collect Middlesworth's Social Security checks and annuities. Bushey's attorney, Thomas Steinman, argued that Bushey thought God would bring Middlesworth back to life...


Get MTV on the phone--we have a new reality show in the making!
