At trial, one of his key points was that Huskey suffered from multiple personality disorder, and that a man with such a low IQ would not be able to create two other personalities, especially a sophisticated Englishman. The confession had been offered by "Kyle," Huskey's evil personality, which was no proof Huskey himself had done anything. Another alleged personality was "Timmy," a homosexual who liked pornography.
Defense psychologist, Dr. Diana McCoy, testified that Huskey did in fact suffer from multiple personality disorder, due to trauma suffered during childhood. Others had noticed these alter personalities, including Huskey's wife and a jailer.
Dr. Robert Sadoff, a forensic psychiatrist, said he had been in Huskey's presence when one of the personalities emerged. He could tell this, he said, because the facial expressions and mannerisms were different. Huskey also had seen no evidence of any of the alleged alter personalities. Neither had Huskey's mother.
