“Dr. Harding,” Goldsberry asked, in redirect examination, “did you use case histories and other hospital records to come to your diagnosis?”

“I did. We used everything we could find.”

“Do you think it is necessary for a psychiatrist to use past records and the opinions of other treating physicians in arriving at a diagnosis?”

“I believe it’s absolutely essential.”

When Harding was shown the letter by Dr. Caul setting forth the criteria for treating multiple personality, he told the court he felt it was an excellent statement, and agreed that those conditions were the minimum requirements.

Harding was followed to the witness stand by Psychologist Dorothy Turner, who testified that she had seen Billy on almost a daily basis before his trial and had given several of the personalities intelligence tests.

“What were the results?” Goldsberry asked.

“Two had IQs of 68 to 70. One was average. Another was cleary superior—an IQ of 130.”

“Is it possible,” Belinsky asked, “that these IQ differences could have been faked?”

“Absolutely not,” Turner said with anger in her voice. “I have no doubt that there was no way to fake these differences.” Dr. Stella Karolin testified that she had arrived independently at the same diagnosis as Dorothy Turner, Dr. Cornelia Wilbur and Dr. George Harding. Karolin had seen Milligan in April, June and July of this year and felt he was still split. “What if there are other problems?” Belinky asked.

“The multiple personality should be treated first,” Karolin said. “He may have other mental problems—different personalities might have different illnesses—but the overall problem should be treated first.”

“Do you think he was receiving correct treatment in Athens?”

“I do.”

Goldsberry showed her the Caul letter. She nodded and agreed that these were the minimum basic requirements.

After Harding, Karolin and Turner were dismissed as witnesses, they were permitted to remain in the courtroom as observers.

For the first time in his life, at three-fifty that afternoon, Billy Milligan was allowed to testify in his own behalf.

With the handcuffs on, it was difficult for him to place his left hand on the Bible and raise his right hand. He bent over and smiled as he tried to do it. Then, after swearing to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, he took his seat and looked up at the judge.

“Mr. Milligan,” Judge Kinworthy said, “I am going to advise you that although you have the right to participate in these

proceedings, you cannot be compelled to testify. You may jremain silent.”

Billy nodded.

Alan Goldsberry began direct examination in his soft, precise manner. “Billy, do you recall speaking in this courtroom an October 12?”

“Yes, I do.”

“I’d like to ask you about the treatment you’re receiving at Lima State Hospital. Are you getting hypnotherapy?”

“XT ”

No.

“Group therapy?”

“No.”

“Music therapy?”

Billy looked at the judge. “They took a bunch of us into a room where there was a piano and told us to sit there. There was no therapist. We just sat around for hours.”
