In a complex legal case involving Wesley Duncan, accused of multiple sexual offenses against a minor, defense attorney Jesse Harper has introduced a unique challenge regarding the credibility of the accuser. The alleged victim now claims to have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), presenting up to 20 different personalities. One of these personalities, named Gaia, does not recall the alleged abuse or previous legal testimonies, prompting Harper to request a psychological evaluation to assess the validity of this DID diagnosis. This request aims to address Duncan’s right to confront his accuser effectively, amidst concerns over the consistency and reliability of the accuser’s testimonies. Judge Jeffrey Clymer scheduled a hearing to consider this unusual request.
