I can't see this working EVER, but I really hope they try it just for fun.
If so, she better get faking it in those prison visits 'cause all I've ever seen is one personality.
MOO.
I have never heard that about Roseanne Barr - really?
ive been in school for 3 years now studying forensic psychology. And in my personal opinion we will never see a mpd defense. I am waiting for dr kent kiehl to show up on the visitors list. He is doing some fascinating work with psychopaths and brain imaging scans in order to determine that it's a medical condition. He has testified at trials allready, so far no wins, thank goodness... But this is going to open up the door for a medical reason for a psychopath and in my own opinion it's only a matter of time before we see a win using his research.
I dont want a psychopathic killer walking the streets ever... But science is catching up and understanding them is evolving rapidly.

Accidental, which usually result from abuse.
Revenge, getting back at someone, usually a spouse or the child's parent.
Unwanted child.
The following article is a very interesting read albeit long. I wonder if this just might be where the defense is headed with Casey...does she suffer from MPD? Could she possibly be Zanny, Juliette, Zach, etc. all rolled up into one Casey brain? Or is she possibly faking MPD?
I'm curious to hear your opinions about this and the possibility that Casey could possibly be suffering from MPD or the possibility that she and the defense are going to fake it.

And legally, her attorneys can't do anything WITHOUT her permission. So, in reality, her defense is Casey-driven.Welcome to WS!
I have a hard time seeing Casey allowing anyone on her defense team letting this guy (or anyone else for that matter) say she's a psychopath.
You know I have spent a lot of time thinking this but not exactly how you are thinking. Have you ever seen the movie Hide and Seek? if not its about this little girl who lives with her dad and after her mom dies, the dad believes the girl is having a break down, because she is always talking about Charley this imaginary friend that plays with her but is very mean that no one else sees. They move away but the girl continues to get worse and these people start dieing. To make a long story short, Charley was her dad, he had split personalities and her dad didn't know he had splits, when he was "dad" he was normal dad who thought his daughter was having a break down after losing her mom, but actually Charley the dads other personality killed the mom after he caught her having an affair, but the little girl could not tell her dad because Charley would kill her and her dad (himself).
Anyway my theory was that they were going to say that Cindy is Zanny and Casey was protecting her family and that everything that Casey said is true.. That she would say that yes Cindy babysat Caylee and she is also the Zanny that KC speaks of in her texts and IM's. That everyone has been protecting Cindy including Casey, that they would claim Cindy has had mental problems for a long time and was seeing a Psychiatrist, that this is the family secret that they spoke about where Casey says she hasn't told anyone and so on... My mind has really put this whole thing together, but no I don't think that they will claim that Casey is MPD but that Cindy is, and Cindy is still playing the part with the I beleive Caylee is alive and her various personalities that we have seen.
