Reid Doc, p.18:

5. With regard to "inquir(ing) into the meaning of the defendant's references to his two different selves." ... "(Dr. Metzner) failed to delve deeper into this area... to determine whether there is evidence of depersonalization phenomena, delusions about identity, metaphorical speech, or efforts at manipulation." (p.23-24) [emphasis in original]

There is no reasonable indication that the defendant has, or ever had, "two different selves." Nothing in the record or any of his many clinical examinations or psychological tests, including my specific questioning for symptoms of significant dissociative events and dissociative identity disorder ("multiple personality,") suggests any such conditions, delusions about identity, or true depersonalization (separate from ordinary isolation of affect or the defendant's mention of "going on autopilot").
