''[[The Minds Ofof Billy Milligan]]'' is the true story of a man with multiple personalities, written by Daniel Keyes.
Out of control of his own actions, Billy Milliagan was a man tormented by twenty-four distinct personalities battling for supremacy over his body-- a battle that culminated when he awoke in jail, arrested for the kidnap and rape of three women. In a landmark trial, Billy was acquitted of his crimes by reason of insanity caused by multiple personality -- the first such court decision in history -- bringing to public light the most remarkable and harrowing case of multiple personality ever recorded.
