During this time, Claudia was praying for Arely, and God told her that he was going to take Arely,

So the demon they were trying to evict, was God himself; and she tried to save her daugther from God, by murdering her.

Good thing religion can be an excuse for regretting having children...

Her mother posted about it on social media and recorded a YouTube video, saying people did not understand what she had been through.

'I am at peace, I am happy. The reason I feel what I feel is God. If you don't want to be in my life, that's OK. The only one I need is God.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A little girl told her mother 'I love you’ in an attempt to stop the woman torturing her to death in a day-long church ‘exorcism’, newly released court documents reveal.

Three-year-old Arely Proctor pleaded for her life and struggled to escape as she was battered and strangled by her mother Claudia Hernandez, 27, and her pastor relatives.

Two years after her body was found by police on the altar of a Pentecostal church in San Jose, California, authorities have still to decide whether her killers will stand trial.

‘Over the course of approximately twenty hours Arely Doe fought for her life as three trusted adults forcibly grabbed her by the neck,’ Deputy District Attorney Rebekah Wise wrote.

'If you read the Bible, you'll see that Jesus casts away demons and made sick people healthy again,’ he later told Mercury News.

Wise filed her memorandum on April 3 to Santa Clara County Court where Judge Hanley Chew will make a ruling on May 10 as to whether there is enough evidence for a trial.
