"A legal case that broke the insanity defense"
This four-part documentary digs into the real case of Billy Milligan, the first person in the US acquitted of a violent crime by pleading not guilty due to multiple personality disorder. Using archival footage, court recordings, and interviews with psychiatrists, lawyers, and journalists, it reconstructs how his diagnosis of 24 distinct identities upended the legal system. The tone is measured and investigative rather than sensational, though the subject matter is inherently unsettling. It moves briskly through the case's twists, working best as a true-crime procedural about justice, trauma, and the limits of psychiatric evidence.
the unsettling real court case that forced psychiatry and law to confront multiple personalities.
you want deep psychological nuance rather than a fast-moving true-crime retelling.
