Demon Defense Fails: Texas Executes Man Who Blamed Baby’s Death on 'Possession'

In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming (except maybe the demons), Blaine Milam, the man convicted of torturing and murdering a 13-month-old child in a botched exorcism, is finally facing the music—or in this case, the needle. Texas, never one to shy away from a good old-fashioned execution, is set to send Milam to the great beyond, where presumably, he’ll have plenty of time to argue with the devil about whether bite marks are admissible in the afterlife.

Milam, who has spent the last decade and change on death row perfecting his 'I didn’t do it' routine, has managed to secure not one, but two stays of execution. That’s right, folks—this guy has more comebacks than a bad horror movie villain. His legal team, armed with the classic 'bad DNA evidence' and 'intellectual disability' defenses, has been working overtime to keep him alive, presumably so he can continue his riveting documentary career. Because nothing says 'innocent' like starring in a Werner Herzog film about death row.

Meanwhile, the victim, baby Amora, who suffered injuries so horrific they made seasoned law enforcement officers physically ill, doesn’t get a stay of anything. But hey, at least Milam got to call her 'a great little girl' on camera. Silver linings, right?

And let’s not forget Jesseca Carson, the mother of the year, who was also convicted for her role in this nightmare. She’s serving life without parole, which means she’ll have plenty of time to reflect on her life choices—like, say, dating a guy who thought baby exorcisms were a valid form of childcare.

So as Texas prepares to administer its signature cocktail of justice, we’re left to wonder: Will Milam’s execution finally bring closure? Or will his legal team file another appeal claiming the lethal injection needle was actually a demon in disguise? Stay tuned, folks. The only thing predictable about this case is its utter depravity.
