Trial Opens Over Multiple Personalities Defense in Rape Case
In Tempe Arizona 32 year old James Carlson is accused of raping two college women kidnapping a third and stealing checks from a fourth during a two month span. His attorney argues Carlson's mind fractured into several identities including a police officer a lesbian prostitute and a TV sitcom character and says another personality committed the 1991 rapes. Prosecutor contends Carlson knew his actions and should be held responsible. First witnesses described being awakened by a man who engaged in nonviolent acts with one woman and a violent attempt to assault another.
