“Yes, Your Honor.” David stood and faced the jury. He took a deep breath.
“Ladies and gentlemen, in the course of this trial, I will prove to you that Ashley Patterson is not responsible for what happened.”
She had no motive for any of the murders, nor any knowledge of them. My client is a victim.
She is a victim of MPD—multiple personality disorder, which in the course of this trial will be explained to you.
He glanced at Judge Williams and said firmly, “MPD is an established medical fact.
It means that there are other personalities, or alters, that take over their hosts and control their actions.”
MPD has a long history. Benjamin Rush, a physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, discussed case histories of MPD in his lectures.
Many incidents of MPD were reported throughout the nineteenth century and in this century of people taken over by alters.”
Brennan was listening to David, a cynical smile on his face.
“We will prove to you that it was an alter who took command
and committed the murders that Ashley Patterson had absolutely no reason to commit. None.
She had no control over what happened, and therefore is not responsible for what happened.
