  A high court in Texas rules exorcism protected by law

  The court reduced the monetary award, but decided the church's right to freedom of religion did not prevent it from being held liable for "mental distress", a situation of (Stare Decisis in action.)

  
  A Tarrant County jury in Texas found the Colleyville church and its members liable for abusing and falsely imprisoning the girl, who was then 17.

  A Texas appeals court trimmed the monetary award but decided the church's right to freedom of religion did not prevent it from being held liable for mental distress.

  Good, One can hold whatever beliefs one wants to hold and even inflict "mental distres" upon oneself.

  BUT ONE CANNOT INFLICT MENTAL STRESS ON OTHERS IN THE NAME OF "FREEDOM OF RELIGION"!

  Religions are stupid.
