There’s no debate that Dwayne Wilson has dissociative identity disorder, based on testimony by experts from both sides during a pre-trial hearing.
But Superior Court Judge Fred Theemling, sitting in Jersey City, agreed with prosecutors that Wilson’s condition doesn’t make his homicidal personality – known as “Kiko” — a distinct individual.
His attorney argued that “Kiko” is responsible for the stabbing deaths of Marcia Wilson, 35, and her son and daughter, both 11, in September 2005 in Jersey City.
Wilson, 41, also is charged with repeatedly stabbing his sister’s 9-year-old son, who called police after he regained consciousness.
A prosecutor called the “Kiko” theory “insane.” In fact, it’s very possible that Wilson could be found guilty by reason of insanity and committed to an institution.
“It would not matter that the act is something that the actor would not commit when the normal, non-violent part of their personality is in control,” said Theemling, a former Hudson County prosecutor and a congressional candidate in 1992, “…so long as the defendant was conscious and his or her actions were a product of their own volition.”
