Inmates attack San Jose pastor accused of killing girl with church exorcism
Rene Trigueros Hernandez was a pastor at a Pentecostal church, Iglesia Apostoles y Profetas, until he was arrested by San Jose Police Department officers. His granddaughter, Arely Naomi Proctor, died in the church on Sept. 24, 2021. Prosecutors said the girl was tortured by family members for hours on the altar as they attempted to cast a “demon” out of her.
The girl’s family members told police that they squeezed Arely, trying to expel the demon, until they realized that she was dead, according to investigators.
Hernandez, 60, might not survive long enough in jail to make it to a trial if the inmate attacks continue, his defense attorney said.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
