It should be a valid reason...but I am not sure of acquittal..it is like calling someone criminally insane, and the person should be hospitalized, depending on the severity of their crime...But, a person who has MPD, is not in control of the other personality many times, and I believe with all my heart, that they are what some would call "crazy'...this should be taken into consideration, and also, a deep research into their background and childhood, which would reveal the reason that they ended up with these different personalities...many children develop callous personalities, to deal with heinous sickening sexual abuse...they develop a hard, cruel, sadistic side, which enables them to deal with the horrific sexual abuse they suffer...

Yes but the person should not go free. The person should be put in a hospital where he/she can be treated and hopefully have some control over the disorder.
He/She should not be allowed to rome the streets where he/she could be a danger to oneself and others.

No, although it should be taken into account, as a mitigating factor, when it comes to sentencing. If someone is actively pursuing treatment for it, at the time, it should warrant a further reduction in sentence. Otherwise, it would be open slather, on the streets.
