So the main lesson of that movie is, if someone tells you an extremely unlikely story in place of a much more likely explanation in their defense, go with it because you MIGHT be wrong? Sure, I'll remember that next time a murderer wants to get off scott free because he was actually being posessed by a demon.
The main lesson was that science can't explain everything and sometime you just have to take things on faith. She knew what she saw despite all the evidence the panel produced to refute her claim but she couldn't back down because she believed so strongly it was true. And in the end it was revealed that there may have been some truth to her story.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
