The Crowded Room Season 1 Episode 9 Quotes

Indisputable. Undeniable. Irrefutable. And it makes a guy wonder, why am I even here? That was some opening from the prosecution. Bedrock principles. Well, here's a bedrock principle for you. He's innocent. He has the presumption of innocence asis his right. Now this bears repeating because of everything that you just heard. So, let me begin by saying it clearly and as a simple statement of fact. Danny Sullivan didn't shoot anyone. He was there. He admits as much. But he didn't pull the trigger. Danny's a good kid. But he's a sick kid. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, no one is making up a condition. I get how it sounds. Multiple Personality disorder. You know, at first I had a hard time wrapping my head around it myself. But instead of making flying nun jokes -- which is easy -- I kept an open mind. Which is hard. And that's what I'm asking of you. To keep an open mind, listen to the experts and listen to the witnesses. Because if you do, you'll arrive at the same indisputable, undeniable, irrefutable conclusion that I did, which is that Danny had no control over his illness. Or his alters. Yeah, he's got alters. He's got altars because he was hurt in unimaginable ways. That broke him. It broke his mind into pieces. And no, they are not some get-out-of-jail-free card. They are real, and they are not Danny. To send Danny to prison for a crime that one of his alters committed would be the same as you going to jail for a crime that I committed. Now Danny's illness is rare, and it is the result of being exposed to sexual abuse as a child. Frankly, he's lucky to have survived. This illness is how he survived. I get it. It's weird. It's hard. But please, keep an open mind.

But with evidence so provable, so irrefutable, one wonders, what will the defense do? They cannot deny the facts, so they will divert you from them by making unfounded and unproven claims about a condition they call Multiple Personality Disorder. Let me be clear. There is no such thing as Multiple Personality Disorder. It is a made-up condition. From a Sally Field movie, no less. They might as well claim the defendant is a flying nun. The defense blames Mr. Sullivan's actions on what they call an alter. Now I can admit I get the appeal. Don't we all wish we could blame our mistakes on someone else? Run a red light, blame an alter. Bounce a check, blame an alter. Cheat on a spouse, well, let's see how that one flies.
