Man Sentenced in Death at Wis. 'Exorcism'

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040817/ap_on_re_us/church_death_1

A church elder was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Tuesday for abusing an 8-year-old autistic boy who died in what prosecutors called an exorcism at a storefront church.

Prosecutors say Ray Hemphill lay on Terrance Cottrell Jr.'s chest for at least an hour while trying to release "demons" from him, before the boy died Aug. 22, 2003.
