The Aliens Are Innocent!

The Trial and Conviction of a "EBE Possessed" Serial Killer

By W.H. Bowart      

(c) 1995 International Artists Trust of Erin
                          
Plan Ten From Outer Space was playing at The Screening Room on
East Congress, just up the street from the courthouse. The card
in the window said, "Just because it's made up, doesn't mean it
isn't true..." The film, which ran on weekends until October
29th, was described variously as being "Rocky Horror meets the
Mormons," and "Irreverent," and "Nancy Drew on acid." Below that
the card read, "A twisted tale about Mormons, sex and aliens..."

Change Mormons to Baptists ( Moody was a Baptist), change the acid
to cocaine, and you have a fair description of the murder trial
that played from October 10th to the 26th down the street at the
Superior Court in Tucson, Arizona. I kept walking past the
theater, in the settling exhaust of the O.J. Simpson trial, for
three weeks on my way to cover the trial of Robert Moody, an
"alien possessed" serial killer. 

Robert Joe Moody had allegedly killed two women -- Michelle
Malone, 36, the first victim who was enjoying a regular threesome
with Moody and his girlfriend Dora Lee. ( The evidence of this
sexual adventurism was lightly passed over in the trial
testimony.) The second victim was his next door neighbor, Pat
Magda, 56, a financial expert and widow of an Air Force officer. 

In the trial there was no reference to  Moody's apparent
life-long affliction from trauma-based programming  --  no
testimony to conditions which typically would indicate what used
to be called Multiple Personality Disorder, but is now called
Dissociative Identity Disorder. This is not to look for an excuse
for Moody from two counts of first degree murder because he may
have suffered from traumas in his childhood. But, what we
probably have here is an individual with a mental disorder which
could explain his actions. Any evidence of this kind, however,
was excluded from the trial. Anyway, the accused didn't have a
chance for a fair trial from the beginning if he was suffering
from a dissociative disorder that was trauma based.

From the testimony of the four shrinks, only one, Dr. Joseph
Geffen appeared to have a good grasp of the new diagnosis. It was
hard to believe that three of the four doctors who evaluated
Moody lived in the same city as the late great psychiatrist
Milton H. Erickson, a pioneer in the treatment of the highly
complex and often overlooked mental disorder. Asked by the court
only to determine if Moody was competent to stand trial, the
first shrink to testify, Chief of Forensic Psychiatry for the
Superior Court, Dr. Jack Potts, determined that, at first, Moody
was neither competent, nor sane, but that he suffered from a
"personality disorder."

This diagnosis displeased Robert Moody, and he fought hard
against any insanity defense, firing his attorney and taking over
the case himself. 

ACCESS TV UFOAZ talkshow host, Ted Loman interviewed Moody in his
cell shortly after his arrest. I asked to see the tapes of those
interviews. The first thing Loman said to Moody was "you killed
two women, and I think you ought to get the death penalty." It
was not exactly a rapport building moment. But then, Moody agreed
with Loman, saying that was exactly what his "mission" was -- to
get the lethal injection, be killed by the state so "Extrasensory
Biological Entities" could resurrect him. From a laymen's
perspective, this is a very crazy statement for anyone to make,
guilty or innocent of any kind of crime. That should have been a
red flag for all of those who were involved in representing,
diagnosing or treating this individual accused of murder. This
was not a statement made by a sane person. At least it showed a
suicidal intent.

After I watched hours of these tapes I asked Ted to take me along
on his next interview with the defendant. As I sat face-to-face
with a medicated Moody and heard him tell me Dr. Potts had said
he had a "personality disorder" I asked him if it was a "multiple
personality disorder." He said emphatically no, it was a
"narcissistic personality disorder."

My interest was piqued further when I learned from Moody that he
had been seriously abused as a child. I was curious about whether
or not he had been further traumatized, and accessed during his
service years with the U.S. Marine Corps. His disclosure that he
experienced "missing time" when he trained with Navy Seal Teams
and that he had been given a Top Secret clearance, made me even
more interested in his case. Missing time is a hallmark for both
Dissociative Identity Disorder patients and those alleging Alien
Abduction. I'd interviewed hundreds of DID men and women who had
been used as drug mules, sex slaves, human tape recorders,
assassins and other "compartmented personality roles" in
intelligence activities. I came away wondering if Moody could be
suffering from Dissociated Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified
(DDNOS). This diagnosis is often used on individuals who have a
traceable history with the U.S. Government in conjunction with a
history of early childhood abuse & trauma.

I asked a friend, Dr. G.L. Dean, a brilliant clinician who
developed one of the first Dissociative Disorders hospital
programs in California, to come along with Loman and I on a visit
to the jail. Further qualifying her, Dr. Dean had presented two
papers at the Alien Abduction Conference held at MIT in 1993 as
one of her interests is in the relationship between dissociative
disorders and alleged ALIEN abduction phenomenon. This interview
was done at my request as Dr. Dean and I were collaborating on a
book about the Politics of the DID Diagnosis. During this
interview Moody switched into several different states, including
a child and an internally restrained part which he referred to as
Joe. Altogether there was Bob and Robert and Joey and Bobby. When
Joe manifested, the room filled with heat.

Two hours later, as we walked across the jail parking lot Dr.
Dean reflected on the case: "What is one supposed to do if he is
found to be suffering from DID?" she asked. "Reintegrate him so
that he can feel, just like the rest of us, and then they will
give him the lethal injection?" Dr. Dean and I talked about the
possibility that there could be a number of other personalities
which had not yet revealed themselves.

For weeks after, we tried to get Moody's defense team to act on
the information we were uncovering, information that raised our
suspicion that Moody should be evaluated for DID. Dr. Dean gave
several referral names of experts in the field for ruling out the
possibility that he may be suffering from DID. I passed that
information on to Robert Moody, Ray Morgan, the defense
investigator, and Dan Grills his attorney. Nobody listened. For
the twenty odd years I'd been dealing with these stories, one of
Marshall McLuhan's axioms kept coming to mind: "Only the small
secrets need to be protected. The big ones are kept secret by
public incredulity."

Moody had consistently maintained, the testimony showed, since
before his crimes and before his arrest,that he had been
contacted by these "Extrasensory Biological Entities. (EBE's)"
But Ted Loman, who'd been researching UFO's for years, and
believed in the reality of extraterrestrial visitors, said he'd
never heard this term before. Usually they were called
"Extraterrestrial Biological Entities."

It was apparent that one Moody  would like to see the other
Moodys dead -- something not uncommon for those with DID. He said
his "mission" was to get sentenced to death by lethal injection.
He had no fear of death, he said, because the EBE's had promised
him that, after the doctors would pronounce him dead, they would
bring him back to life like a modern Lazarus.

Dan Grills, Moody's first court- appointed defense attorney had
become frustrated with Moody because he would not remember things
they had discussed, was changing from one state to another, and
it became almost impossible for Grills to understand his client,
even though Moody was found competent to stand trial. Moody's
case could be compared in history with Hitler's when he was
considered competent by some but insane by others. Our legal
system gives basic guidelines for competency. They address simply
the question of the defendant's ability to understand the
criminal charges and to assist his attorney in his defense. In
Moody's case he would not help his attorney, and, now that we've
seen the trial, did little to present his own defense, rather
working toward his "mission" of getting the death penalty and
being resurrected. In hindsight, Dan Grills was right. Moody was
incompetent to stand trial.

Perhaps, given the problems associated with individuals
representing themselves, a more careful evaluation of competency
should be considered as our society and the individuals in it
becomes more complex. Grills wanted to present an insanity
defense and Moody would have nothing of it. Moody repeatedly
complained  about Grills' representation, shouted disparaging
comments in the courtroom and haggled with the judge, claiming
his right to represent himself. Finally Judge Howard Hantman let
him.

When, after Grills was no longer working for Moody, I finally got
the point across to him that Moody should be evaluated properly
for DID he said, "God, now I feel bad. I just hated that bastard
so much. He kept breaking his word, not remembering promises he'd
made or things he'd agreed to. A multiple personality disorder
explains everything. That's got to be it. He's crazy!" And that
is what he eventually said on the witness stand: "He's crazy!"
"In practice our courts are using psychiatry in competency
hearings more out of convenience than from any consideration of
Justice. In case after case fundamental rights are denied by
maneuvers for competency rulings," writes Dr. Lee Coleman in The
Reign of Error, Psychiatry, Authority and Law.

Judge Hantman found Moody competent to stand trial too easily. He
based his decision on the testimony of "experts" who were not
expert in the difficult process of diagnosing an adult male
suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. A court appointed
psychiatric expert is anybody who is licensed to practice
medicine as a Psychiatrist and approved by the court. Having a
regular shrink try to diagnose a DID is tantamount to having a
foot doctor evaluating a person for brain surgery. Later one of
those same "experts" would take the stand to say that Moody could
not have DID, offering the wrong explanation of it before the
jury. 

Moody's trial could have turned out to be the story of the
millennium. Not this millennium, the next one. It was the kind of
story that Rolling Stone would have sent my former neighbor,
Hunter Thompson, out to cover if they'd known about it. It was a
true crime story of not just drugs and rock and roll, but a
delusional individual who claimed to have killed two women, was
involved in kinky sex, huge quantities of drugs, trained with the
Navy Seals, and wanted to be crucified by society so that he
could be resurrected by entities not known to this world, yet
still wanted to be found competent to stand trial and represent
himself.

Just as we have experienced technological lag -- as soon as we
buy a new computer or camcorder it's made obsolete by a far more
advanced innovation -- we've experienced the law's great lag
behind science. In this information age, where the virtual
reality model is all pervasive, it would appear that truth has
come to exist in relative compartments. Since Arizona's 
psycho-scientific community is far from state-of-the-art, it's 
easy to forgive the state's forensic psychologists who would 
appear to be lollygagging around bygone days, not keeping up with 
their journals. It is the belief of many that, if Robert Joe 
Moody had the opportunity to at least have the possibility that 
he was suffering from DID ruled out, and if the screening tools 
for evaluation for competency to stand trial were examined 
carefully, he certainly would not be representing himself as his 
own attorney. As the trial date neared, one could do little more 
than hope Moody had a Johnny Cocheran or an F. Lee Bailey in 
there somewhere. It turned out he didn't.

October 11, 1995 -- On the opening day of the trial, Robert Joe
Moody told the jurors, as he had told reporters, that he was an
involuntary participant in two killings because he'd been
controlled by Extrasensory Biological Entities. Addressing the
jury of 16 for about 20 minutes in his opening statement, Moody
said, "Nobody can tell you what happened like I can." Trying to
explain why he was representing himself against murder charges in
two separate killings in November 1993, Moody said, "I have never
denied my participation in that... (but) it wasn't voluntary... I
had no conscious control of what was going on." The former U.S.
Marine with a Top Secret Security Clearance and more recently a
Prudential Insurance District Manager and an independent
financial planner, Moody spoke of using cocaine and crack cocaine
before, he said, Extrasensory Biological Entities took control of
him and made him kill Michelle Malone, and Patricia Magda, in
their separate Tucson homes. He said that the EBEs took control
of him so that they could prove their existence to the world.
They wanted him to get evidence of their existence introduced
into court as part of an ultimate "mission" to bring increased
"spirituality" to the world. Assistant County Prosecutor David
White, would later wonder, if that was so, why the aliens hadn't
picked victims who were more famous, so they'd get more
attention? 

Even though the judge had previously ruled out all testimony of
mind control or alien intervention as a defense, he let Moody go
on and on in his opening statement, telling the jury that the
Extrasensory Biological Entities' involvement in the brutal
murders became clear to him only after he watched a particular
episode of "Star Trek," in a California jail.

Facing death by lethal injection, Moody told the jury that the
EBE's started contacting him while he was a weather observer for
military aircraft. ( He told us previously in his cell that he was
contacted first when he was four years old.) He said that the EBE
conscious contact started soon after he read a top-secret
government account of a spacecraft crash with "non-human"
casualties. He told the jury, a UFO abducted him in 1992 and "ran
a movie" through his mind showing him that aliens had contacted
him several times since he was 4 years old.

Prosecutor White, ignored the space alien question in his opening
statements, saying that forensic evidence would prove that Moody
was a desperate crack cocaine addict who brutally murdered two
women because he needed money for drugs. White told jurors that
police found fingerprints, blood, signed receipts, and other
evidence linking Moody to the killings. White said Moody also
admitted the slayings to several reporters during interviews in
the months before the trial.

The way things went, by the third day of the trial, it seemed
clear that most of Moody's story was not going to come before the
jury. Judge Hantman had successfully swept the most interesting
questions under the carpet in preliminary hearings and the
prosecutor appeared intent on seeing that the carpet stayed
unturned.

Hantman had said, "There is no "alien" defense for murder in this
county." Gossips in the halls called the judge "Hangin' Howard
Hantman." When Moody's former Defense Attorney, Dan Grills, was
dismissed so that Moody could act as his own lawyer, Grills said:
"allowing Moody to act as his own defense attorney is nothing
more than State assisted suicide. Maybe they should start calling
Judge Hantman, Judge Kervorkian?"

Letting Moody present his own defense precluded raising the
question of his sanity in any effective way. But reporters and
court-watchers became aware of Moody's different personality
states when he repeatedly referred to himself as Bob or
Robert: "It doesn't have Robert Moody's signature on it," said
one of Moody's personalities. "Those prints were taken from
Robert Moody when he was extradited from California," another
Moody personality said. 

This could be interpreted as Moody acting as his own lawyer
referring to himself in the third person as any lawyer would his
client. But even in acting, when one represents themselves as
another, it is easy to get the roles mixed up. In Moody's case,
however, he was very clear about Robert and Bob. He even got most
of the witnesses to refer to "Robert Moody" when the word "you"
would have been more appropriate. Several times Judge Hantman
interrupted asking a witness to specify that the "Robert Moody"
they were talking about was the defense counsel who was
questioning them.

The jury had the option of finding Moody "not guilty by reason of
insanity," which, according to the opinion of several newspaper
reporters who had more experience with the defendant, might not
have been all that unthinkable. Several legal and mental health
professionals familiar with details of this case expressed
thoughts that the judge had demonstrated a great lack of humanity
when he let Moody try to defend himself. What they overlooked was
that this was Moody's way of fulfilling his "mission."

While Moody was acting as his own counsel the following questions
could not be confronted: Is Robert Moody suffering from
Dissociative Identity Disorder? Was his DID discovered by the
cryptocracy during his service in the U.S. Marines? Was he
conditioned as a "sleeper agent" assassin to kill on command,
and/or was he accidentally triggered? Were the two victims killed
for reasons of "national security" in the mind of Moody? Are
Moody's memories of contact with  EBE's merely screen memories,
planted to cover up top secret things, or military programming
gone astray? Could the U. S. government be held liable for
programming individuals as killers and turning them loose in
society without first deprogramming them or debriefing them? In
all fairness to Judge Hantman ( so new to the bench that, at the
start of the trial, his name had not yet been not engraved on
the brass plaque near the entrance), you can understand how
Moody's mental state was overlooked. Tucson ( and Pima County) is
at the crossroads of the War on Drugs. The justice system is not
used to getting at the psychological truth. In the days of a
"make a deal" swift process of law, in the age of "America's
economy needs more prisons -- make more laws, break more laws"--
most criminals cop a plea, pay their fines, do their time, or
shoot it out with lawmen groomed in the historic shadows of Wyatt
Earp and Johnny Ringo. 

One couldn't help but compare this trial with the O.J. Simpson
trial which ended shortly before this one began. What if Robert
Moody had the bucks to hire the Shapiro, Cocheran, Bailey team?
It apparently didn't matter. He'd already told reporters that he
committed the murders involuntarily under EBE influence. Even
though he said it wasn't by his own volition, his hands held the
knives that stabbed, the cords that tied, the guns that shot, and
the hedge trimmers that bludgeoned. As the testimony unfolded a
picture of the murders came to life. It was as if the victims
both had their left hands tied down while their right hands were
stabbed in a trained torture routine -- "tell me your p.i.n.
number..." And then the victims were shot first Mossad style,
then Mafia style, then CIA style. Then their heads were beaten
with whatever was at hand. It was as if they had each been killed
three times. Or as if they had been killed by three different
personalities.

Gossips on the courthouse steps said that David White had chosen
to prosecute this bizarre case as a certain win, an easy way to
smooth his path in the upcoming election for County Attorney.
White kept it simple. He presented the Moody case as a routine
drug crime, arguing that Moody smoked too much crack cocaine,
went crazy and robbed and bludgeoned his two ( that we know of)
victims before taking their money and one of their cars and
heading off on an amnestic vacation to Laughlin, Nevada, then to
Las Vegas and on to Flagstaff, then Glendale ( a suburb of
Phoenix) and Yuma. 

In Yuma he put his ex-sister-in-law and her two children in a
closet, and nailed the door shut, before taking her money and
1992 Suburban and driving on to San Diego, then Hollywood --
where he took in several free TV shows -- and Venice Beach before
driving back to Las Vegas.

Then for some unknown reason he decided he'd head back to
California, but ran out of money in Bakersfield and picked up a
hitchhiker to help pay for gas. 

The hitchiker turned out to be a convicted felon, Carlos Logan,
who, after Moody had put five bucks worth of gas in the tank,
drove off in the stolen Suburban with Moody chasing the car down
the road for a mile or so. Finally, Moody walked back to the
Sheriff's office where he filed a stolen vehicle report, saying
that he, Todd Joe Williams, owned it. Without treatment Robert
Moody isn't likely to discover if Williams is another one of his
many personalities. White said it was just an alias, and proof
that Moody knew he was wanted for murder and not amnestic at all.
Somehow he got to the city of Orange in Orange County, California
where he "woke up" on a bus bench knowing nothing about himself
except he thought his name was Bob. He had no I.D. and no money
so, after spending the night in a shelter, he checked into the
local Sheriff's Office and asked for help in establishing his
identity. After a few minutes, and a check of his fingerprints on
a fingerprint computer network, the Orange County Sheriff's
clicked the cuffs on Moody, arresting him on an outstanding
warrant for the two murders in Arizona.

During the interrogation he remained amnestic of the preceding
days, and wasn't "allowed to remember," he said, by the
"Extrasensory Biological Entities" until several days later.
Prosecutor White, said this was all just due to the effects of
drugs. Judge Hantman considered letting Moody present to the jury
excerpts of a videotape of his first interrogation in Orange
County, then he decided not to allow it at the last minute. Had
the jury seen the tape they most likely would have been convinced
that, at the time of the interrogation, Moody did suffer amnesia,
and could not remember anything but that he thought his name was
"Bob."

The trial continued for weeks, part forensic fact and part true
hallucination. Each day there was one of Moody's personalities
fighting against another. First there was Robert, then Bobby,
then Bob taking turns pleading the case before the jury and cross
examining the government witnesses! Or, too often sitting silent
and sullen when he should have cross examined.

Bob presented his case and talked about Robert as Robert talked
about Bob when he was present. The shifts in personality were
subtle and one had to know something about DID to recognize what
was happening. If you didn't know about Moody's DID you might
think that he was just talking about himself using his name for
the sake of clarity since he was the lawyer as well as the
defendant. Nobody seemed to notice that the murderer signed into
the hotel as JOE Moody, who could turn out to be the protector of
little Joey Moody, the child who, according to the defense, was
seriously abused and traumatized by his father. 

The jury couldn't have known the significance of the prosecutor's
objection when Robert asked his brother Cliff ( who was
testifying against him) if, when under the questioning of White,
he said they'd come from a "normal family," he meant that a
family  which had been beaten and sexually assaulted and
traumatized by their father was normal? White objected and the
judge quickly sustained the objection. The significance of this,
maybe, was that if the prosecutor had let Cliff Moody expound on
their childhood abuse, it would have laid the groundwork for a
DID defense, one in which each one of the defendant's
personalities would have to have been called forward at the time
of arrest and read the Miranda warnings, which, based on the
video tape of the interrogation, they most certainly were not.
Weeks after the murders, the state's forensic shrink Dr. Jack
Potts "psychologically" evaluated Moody and eventually diagnosed
him as malingering. Malingering is just a fancy word for lying.
But the judge refused to allow Moody to put on the witnesses to
sufficiently offer proof that he was not lying.

The prosecution presented its evidence for eight days, then the
defense ( Moody with John Semon advising) presented its case for
about six more. 

In the face of Judge Hantman and Prosecutor White's obstructions
in bringing the most interesting part of this case to light, none
of the following was apparently investigated nor disclosed:
Evidence which could indicate that Robert Joe Moody was used in
Naval Intelligence operations; evidence which could explain the
five months of missing time he experienced when he allegedly
trained with Navy Seals; evidence on the backgrounds of the
victims, the first of whom was taking drugs with Moody, having
sex with Moody and his girl friend, making porn movies, and is
alleged ( by Moody) to have had carnal knowledge of prominent
Arizonans. Also not to come forth was any evidence that shed
light on Moody's second victim, the widow of a U. S. Air Force
Colonel, nor on Moody's involvement with a national multimillion
dollar insurance scam he participated in while he was District
Manager of Prudential Life Insurance.

Prosecutor White paid a good deal of attention to the aliens in
his closing statements. It appeared that White was concerned that
Moody might get an acquittal by reason of insanity or a hung jury
from hidden ufologists among the 12 jurors. Speaking of the
"alien possessed" defendant using his victim's credit cards to
get money, White wondered, "Did the aliens need the money to buy
plutonium to fuel their spaceships?" He concluded Moody's EBE
possession claims were fake. "The aliens are innocent," he said.
In Moody's rambling rebuttal he wondered, "How did the prosecutor
become an expert on aliens overnight?"

During the last week of his trial Moody called me and asked, "How
do you think I'm doing?" I said I thought he wasn't doing so
well. "I mean, how do you think I'm doing moving toward my
mission," he asked. In that, I had to admit, he was doing just
fine.

The night before the Jury came back with it's verdict, Moody told
Defense Investigator Ray Morgan, "I've got it won either way. If
they find me not guilty by reason of insanity, I walk. And if
they find me guilty, I begin to fulfill my mission."

October 27, 1995 -- The jury was already waiting in the hall when
the press filed into the  courtroom. Each juror has their bright
yellow badges on, so that they could be easily identified. Only
Sal Quijada failed to notice those yellow badges when he spoke of
the possibility of a mistrial the day before in the hall and made
it necessary to poll the jury to see if his phone call had
planted a thought in any mind which would prejudice them. This
morning one of the jurors held a large chocolate cake marked with
festive orange icing. Another juror held a 12 pack of a popular
soft drink. After three of the jurors were dismissed through a
random draw, the rest of the jury deliberated for less than two
hours, during which time they held a little Halloween birthday
party for one of their number

When the jury came back with the verdict guilty on two counts of
first degree murder, Robert Moody smiled broadly. Michelle's
husband,  Jerre Malone, danced in the elevator. Pat Magda's son,
David Royles gave a cheerful interview to the cameras while
hugging his wife. 

It was a "win/win" kinda day.
                       
THE REIGN OF ERROR

October 21, 1995 -- there were headlines over a story in the
Citizen by Mary Bustamante which said: "Moody loses motion for
mistrial. The judge says he can't call space alien expert or
impeach psychiatrists."


Bustamante synopsized the reasons Moody made the motion for a
mistrial: "1. The judge would not allow the defense to call any
experts in the area of extraterrestrials; 2. The judge wouldn't
allow him to call witnesses who might impeach the testimony of
three psychiatrists who said Moody was malingering; 3. The judge
won't step down from the case, even though he said at a hearing
he was presiding over that Moody was malingering, which, Moody
said, influenced at least one psychiatrist's conclusion. " The
evening of the 20th, Moody's legal advisor, John Semon held an
impromptu press conference in the hall. "The legal profession,"
he said, "is the only profession that memorializes its
mistakes."

And memorialized they were in the court records. Every line.
Every word. And there were too many of them to believe that this
trial would not be declared null and void.

In his impromptu press conference on the 7th floor of the
Superior Court building, Semon said that "malingering" was just a
fancy term for lying.

"So you have three witnesses ( the shrinks) coming in and saying
you're a liar, and the judge says you're a liar and then they
say, 'Now, Mr. Liar, come up and testify," Semon said. "The jury
may not be convinced by his testimony."

This trial was getting a lot of publicity. It was seen on Court
TV out of Chicago. The Associated Press carried respectable
coverage. HARD COPY, the tabloid syndicated TV show featured it
and the local ACCESS TV station video taped the each days
proceedings and played it back every evening. 

While half the courtroom was filled each day with kin of the two
victims, the other half was visited by the curious, students of
law, employees of various other courts, the habitual trial
watchers that haunt the courthouse and a few strange people
rooting not so much for Moody, but against the system no matter
what.

This trial, being one in which the defendant claimed occupation
by Extrasensory Biological Entities, drew its share of Star Trek,
X-Files, and UFO fans of all persuasion. They came in
anticipation of witnessing Moody become possessed again and run
amok in the courtroom. There even was one uncomfortable moment
when Prosecutor White placed one of the murder weapons, a large
butcher knife, in an opened bag on Moody's desk for his
inspection. 

I could imagine Moody taking it, making a sudden menacing gesture
before being shot down in the crossfire of the three deputies in
the courtroom. I imagined that one or more of the legally fired
bullets would pass through Moody or entirely miss him and enter
the gallery of spectators. That day I was sitting directly behind
Moody in hopes of picking up some of his and John Semon's
reactions. I could see myself diving behind the divider when the
shooting started. The next day I moved to the other side of the
room, to the back row, about as far away as I could get from
flying lead in the possibility of a shoot out.

My place was taken by a man I'd met in the courtyard the day
before. He was a veteran trial watcher who was there rooting for
the accused. To want to see Robert Moody get a fair trail and to
see the complete "truth and nothing but the truth" come to light
is not to take a stand against the families of the victims. Nor
is it to exhibit a callous attitude toward the two lives which
were brutally snuffed out. But, to ignore errors of justice is to
pave the way for future errors and jeopardize the future justice
for all.

Moody, being untrained as a lawyer, did an amazingly good job in
court. He said his "mission" was to get convicted and sentenced
to death. He at least got convicted and at the end of January ,
1996, we shall see if he is sentenced to death by lethal
injection, even though the state hasn't put anyone to death in
many years. Moody stated his mission in the opening statement and
the jury gave him what he wanted. 

While Moody made no apparent errors, he did not earn his outcome
solely by his efforts alone. The EBEs did not appear in the
courtroom, so they were no help. Moody was helped along by
decisions of the court and blunders from the prosecution. The
errors in justice in this case began in the preliminary hearings
when Judge Howard Hantman made the statement that he believed
Moody was malingering. The defense put Dr. Lawall on the stand
and he testified that the judge's statement influenced his
psychological evaluation.

Moody: Did you review tapes of court hearings and proceedings
provided you by Dan Grills?

Dr. Lawall: Yes.

Moody: Did you hear Judge Hantman's statement about Bob Moody
malingering?

Dr. Lawall: ...I don't know if Judge Hantman ever made any
statement about malingering...

Moody: Can I refer you to your report of July 21, 1995... page
four...

The judge interrupted for some reason and excused the jury, then
he let Moody continue for the record, keeping this information
from the jury.

Moody: On your report you noted: "these are clear cut hints of
malingering and manipulative behavior particularly what you
yourself noted in court.."

Dr. Lawall: Yes.

Moody: "...he was quite calm and quiet until the cameras were
rolling in the courtroom and then he began mugging and grimacing
in the courtroom..."

Dr. Lawall: Yes.

Moody: When you state "you yourself noted" who were you
referring to?

Dr. Lawall: Judge Hantman.

Moody: Why did you include that in your report?

Dr. Lawall: That whole statement is a reference to two things.
One, I saw the behavior in question myself on the tapes... Judge
Hantman on August 16th, 1994, I believe, in the course of a
hearing observed to Mr. Grills to the effect, "Your client's
demeanor changes depending on whether the cameras are on him or
not."

Moody: So, it affected your evaluation by hearing that and
viewing those tapes?

Dr. Lawall: It was the fact by the change in demeanor verified,
not that the judge said it, but I saw it myself and I'm reminding
him that this is something he knows directly -- that I'm not,
just kind of making this up...

Moody: The point I want to make here is this is your evaluation,
correct?

Dr. Lawall: Yes it is.

From their recitation of their vitae on the witness stand under
oath, neither Drs. Lawall nor Dr. Morenz had the requisite
expertise in Dissociative Identity Disorder to diagnose Moody.
Morentz even gave the wrong explanation of why Moody couldn't
have suffered from DID from the witness stand.

Compounding that error was Hantman's decision to let Moody defend
himself. As defense investigator, Ray Morgan said, "I think this
will be grounds for a mistrial because the judge has let Moody
defend himself and the Court of Appeals will catch that it's an
DID defending part of himself. There might be three trials before
this is through."

Hantman next refused to let Robert Moody call most of the
witnesses he wanted. Moody's appeal was before the Court of
Appeals when the trail started. To be sure there were witnesses
who probably wouldn't have come if they'd been called, witnesses
such as Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmie Carter. But to refuse
to allow Moody to call expert witnesses to testify about "alien
possession" was most likely one of the first errors. These
witnesses would have shed light on Moody's state of mind, and
more importantly would have shown that Moody was not the first,
nor far from the only murderer to try to defend himself with the
claim "aliens took over my body and made me murder." ( Had Moody
said, "God took over my body and made me murder," he probably
would have immediately been declared insane.)

One witness Moody wanted to call was Tucson resident Col.
Wendelle Stevens (Ret.) of the USAF's Top Secret Project Bluebook
staff. When asked what he would have said, if he'd been called to
testify he said, "I would have testified about other cases of
this kind."

Another Tucson resident Hantman struck from Moody's list of
requested witnesses was Sgt. Major (Ret.) Robert O. Dean, who'd
won an out-of-court settlement from the Pima County Sheriff's
Department after he was passed over for a job promotion to local
FEMA Director because he "believed in UFOs." Dean's testimony
could have brought Moody's issue very close to home.

Moody wanted to call Dr. John Mack to testify for the defense.
Mack might have spoken to the detailed evidence that was
uncovered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Conference which he edited and published as Alien Discussions.
Dr. Mack, a former CIA contract spychiatrist, now a Harvard
Professor and a Pulitzer Prize winner ( for his book Lawrence of
Arabia), might have spoken from the stand as he wrote in the
book: "How does the abduction impact our world view? First it
attacks the arrogance... The UFOs make a mockery of the
technology that we are so proud of... It shatters our notion of
physical reality. It also attacks the notion that we are separate
and alone, the only intelligence in the universe... They ( the
aliens) seem to belong in the spirit world, but then they become
part of our physical reality... Finally, they commit the most
egregious sin to the Western mind, which is for something that
should remain in the spirit world to penetrate and show up hard,
physically in our world..."

But no such eloquence. This was a dinky little trial in an
overgrown cowboy town near the Mexican border. This was no big
budget show trial, even though it was getting its share of
attention. Still, all the attention was not enough heat to make
the inept turn pro, as Hunter might say.

The prosecutor erred when, in all his years as a trial lawyer,
knowing the rules full well, he led Jerre Malone into speaking
prejudicial hearsay from the witness stand before the jury. White
led Malone into saying that his wife, "didn't like Moody!" With
that John Semon added his voice to Moody's and called for a
mistrial while chastising the experienced prosecutor for the
lack of professionalism demonstrated by that knowing and willful
breach of legal etiquette. 

The next prosecution error came when White told the jury that the
defense had requested a particular clause in their direction
which was coming up the next day. This is a big legal no-no.
Either White knew he had Hantman in his pocket, and could get
away with it not fearing the legal finesse and experience of the
amateur attorney, Robert Moody, or he was blundering like a
greenhorn. It was certainly not the kind of lawyerly performance
the people would want to see from their future County Attorney.
Then the whole case began to sink in a quicksand of legal
decisions, when Moody waived his attorney/client privileges so
that former defense attorney Dan Grills could take the stand and
testify ( as it appeared to us -- against his former client.)
White argued that since Moody had waived his rights, Grills
ought to turn all his files on the case over to the court, which
Grills did. Hantman almost let the prosecution read the files,
but then reneged at the last moment and sealed those records
declaring that they could be opened "only by court order." There
was a lot of arguing of precedents, but it appeared that the
questions raised were beyond the clear understanding of anyone in
the courtroom.

Will all this be ironed out by the Court of Appeals? Will there
be a new trial? Stay tuned.

IS CRYPTOCRACY  BEHIND "ALIEN" PHENOMENON?

On Robert Moody's list of 200 defense witnesses he submitted to
Judge Hantman were the leading UFO and alien abduction experts.
Near the top of the list was Sergeant Clifford E. Stone, a career
enlisted man who had observed a "flying saucer up close." Only
seven at the time, Stone got within a hundred and fifty feet of
the object and heard the sound it was making. This piqued Stone's
lifelong interest in UFO's.

"I know what I saw and nobody can tell me otherwise," Stone
wrote, in the book he was eventually to publish in 1991, UFO's:
Let the Evidence Speak For Itself. Stone's book contained only 39
pages of Stone's own writing -- summary, observations and
conclusions. The  rest of his self-published book consisted of
193 pages of documents he had succeeded in prying out of various
government agencies through a persistent use of the Freedom of
Information Act.

If he had been allowed to take the witness stand he would have
been able to tell the government's story on alien contact --
things which perhaps were not irrelevant to Robert Moody's claims
that "Extrasensory Biological Entities" had used him to perform
the murders.

In response to FOIA requests filed by Stone on July 16, 1978 and
February 21, 1979, the National Security Agency released two
drafts of documents written in 1968. The most interesting was 
entitled UFO Hypothesis and Survival Questions. Its stated 
purpose was to, "Consider briefly some of the human survival 
implications suggested by the various principal hypothesis 
concerning the nature of the phenomena loosely categorized as 
UFO." 

Under the heading "Extraterrestrial Hypotheses," the report said,
"If 'they' discover you, it is an old but hardly invalid rule of
thumb, 'they' are your technological superiors. Human history has
shown us time and again the tragic results of a confrontation
between a technologically superior civilization and a
technologically inferior people. The 'inferior' is usually
subject to physical conquest." The report gave some good examples
of how an 'inferior' people might survive and maintain their
identity. These were: "(1) Full and honest acceptance of the
nature of the inferiorities separating you from the advantages of
the other people, (2) complete national solidarity in all
positions taken in dealing with the other culture, (3) highly
controlled and limited intercourse with he other side -- doing
only those actions advantageous to the foreigner which you are
absolutely forced to do by circumstances, (4) a correct but
friendly attitude toward the other people, (5) a national
eagerness to learn everything possible about he other culture --
its technological and cultural strengths and weaknesses. This
often involves sending selected groups and individuals to the
other's country to become one of his kind, or even to help him in
his wars against other adversaries, (6) adopting as many of the
advantages of the opposing people as you can, and doing it as
fast as possible -- while still protecting your own identity by
molding each new knowledge increment into your own cultural
cast." 

A bibliography report on "Unidentified Flying Saucers" from the
Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) written in the late
1970's contained such interesting titles as "An Approach to
Understanding Psychotronics" and "A Case of 'Autostasis' or
Reverse Autokinesis' as having something to do with UFO's. Stone
obtained a CIA document, dated 29 January 1976 which talked about
the physical effect of magnetic fields on astronauts, the
possible propulsion system of UFO's and even recovered fragments
of a possible UFO in Brazil. This document stated: "US
scientists believe that low magnetic fields do not have a serious
effect on astronauts, but high magnetic fields, oscillating
magnetic fields, and electromagnetic fields can or do have
considerable effect. There is a theory that such fields are
closely associated with superconductivity at very low
temperatures, such as in space. This in turn is related to the
possible propulsion system of UFOs. There is a rumor that
fragments of a possible UFO found in Brazil bore a relationship
to superconductors and magnetohydro-dynamics." This document was
heavily redacted "in the interest of National Security." Had
Moody been allowed to call Dr. Michael Persinger of Laurentian
University, the jury would  have learned how Persinger had been
experimenting with the induction of "UFO" and "alien abduction
experiences" by playing magnetic fields over the temporal lobes
of subjects. Persinger had been employed by the National Security
Agency to develop behavior-modifying electromagnetic weapons
under project "Sleeping Beauty." Susan Blackmore described her
experience with Persinger's magnetic mind melding in her article
entitled Alien Abduction published in New Scientist in
November, 1994: "Persinger applied a silent and invisible force
to my brain and created a specific experience for me. He claimed
that he was imitating the basic sequences of the processes of
memory and perception and that, by varying those sequences, he
could control my experience. Could he have done it from a
distance? Could it be done on a wider scale? Suddenly prospects
of magnetic mind control seem an awful lot worse than the idea of
being abducted by imaginary aliens..." Striking at the heart of
the questions raised by the Moody case were the anonymous NSA
writer's statements: "Observations of chimpanzees while in a
captive environment have shown that the animals tend to become
confused and disoriented. Since they do not usually have adult
chimps to teach them how to be good apes, they are not even sure
of their behavior. Often their actions are patterned after human
behavior and would have virtually no survival value in the wild.
Lacking the challenge of environmental adaptation, the bodies of
the animals atrophy and become subject to many diseases -- mostly
unknown in their wild counterparts. Reactions to stimuli usually
become less responsive and suitable. Sex often becomes a
year-long preoccupation instead of a seasonal madness.

"Do the captivity characteristics of modern civilization cause a
similar lessening of man's adaptive capability, of his health, of
his ability to recognize reality, of his ability to survive?

"Perhaps the UFO question might even make man undertake studies
which could enable him to construct a society which is most
conducive to developing a completely human being, healthy in all
aspects of mind and body -- and most important able to recognize
and adapt to real environmental situations..."

Are we to read between the lines of this unofficial NSA "draft"?
Is the writer hinting at an unofficial reality of aliens
overhead? Is the human race acting like so many chickens,
scrambling in panic around the yard beneath some high flying
hawk?

Another NSA unofficial "draft" which was released to Stone
started with the heading "SUBJECT: UFO's" After the redaction of
the first paragraphs it started with: "...2. Scientific Findings:
Dr. Jacques Vallee, famed communications science expert, has
studied thousands of cases where human beings have observed
unusual phenomena. He has found that the human response to such
observation is predictable and graphically depictable. Whether
the person's psychological structure is being assaulted by the
unusual and shocking brutality of a murder or the strangeness of
a UFO sighting, the effect is the same:
     a. Initially as by a kind of psychological inertia, the mind
records fairly objectively what the eye is reporting.
     b. But when it has realized the strange nature of the
phenomena it goes into shock. The mind likes to live in a
comfortable world where it feels it knows what to expect, and
that, is not too threatening either physically or
psychologically. The unusual dispels the comfortable illusion the
mind has created. This shock tears at the very mooring of the
human psychological structure.*
     c. To protect itself against such an intrusive and
threatening reality the mind will begin to add imagination and
interpretation to the incoming data to make it more acceptable.
Since the mind is doing all this in haste some of the hurriedly
added details and suggestions tumble over one another and
contradict one another in a bizarre fashion ( as any police
officer interrogating murder witnesses will tell you).
     d. Once the mind has constructed a "safe" framework for the
new information it may again peek out and collect some more
objective data. If the data is still threatening it will again go
into shock and the process starts all over again.
     e. If the data is at the highest strangeness level where it
brings terror either:
     (1) The mind will pass out and go into amnesia burying the
events perhaps permanently in the unconscious.
     (2) The personal psychological will collapse and the mind
will reach down into its deepest place where "that which cannot
be destroyed" is and it will abandon itself to this entity for
survival protection. Encounter with this changeless
indestructible entity is usually referred to as a religious
experience. In the confusion and the shock, this experience is
often attributed to the shocking event or object and that is why
primitive peoples worship such bizarre things as airplanes or
cigarette lighters.
     f. The degree of strangeness of the phenomena dictates how
many people the mind is willing and able to tell the event to. A
mildly unusual or shocking event will be told to many people. A
very shocking event of high strangeness will be told to few
people or practically none at all. Occasionally the event is so
shockingly unusual that it isn't even reported to the person's
conscious mind but is buried in the unconscious of the person
where it is only accessible to hypnosis or careful level six
communication, sharing with another person."

The declassified documents released to Stone and others will be
presented and brought to bear on Moody's possible state of mind
at the time of the murder and on his claims of "alien
possession." I will backtrack his military career, interviewing
those who knew him when he was active in the USMC with a top
secret clearance. If possible I will interview the Navy Seals who
trained with him, trying to find out why he has amnesia for that
10 month period of time.

Some of the comments from the documents sited above are very
sophisticated. In fact they show insight into the processes of
the human mind which is way beyond the general understanding of
the ordinary "mental health" professional. Some of the remarks
have a direct bearing on that state which has been pigeonholed in
the psychiatrist's latest diagnostic manual, DSM-IV, as
Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified -- Robert Moody's
probable correct diagnosis. 

There's no need to touch here on relevant highlights of the fifty
year history ( from declassified MKULTRA and related documents)
of the cryptocracy's investigations and operations in mind
control. There are a number of survivors of mind control and
ritual abuse who have related memories of alien encounters,
something which their therapists and deprogrammers believe are
descriptions of "screen memories" which cloak terrible secrets of
the National Security State.
          
THE BATTLE OF THE SHRINKS or PSYCHIATRIC HASH

The problem of an individual is compounded by the effects of
suffering from multiple personalities which are often amnestic
from each other. The problem of Dissociative Identity Disorder in
the courtroom is clearly a political problem. There's not much
hope that it will be changed unless someone like Robert Moody
dedicates his entire remaining days to helping willing
psychologists and psychiatrists find a way through the legal and
psychological maze. Beyond that there is the question of the lack
of education and experience with DID on the part of the supposed
"experts" who probably overlook this diagnosis more times than
they identify it.

Moody, acting as his own attorney called three psychiatrists to
the stand to testify for the defense. The first was Dr. Jack
Potts who was articulate, but had little to say about the
questions addressed here since he was merely asked to determine
if Moody was competent to stand trial. At first he found he was
not, so he was remanded to a psychiatric facility for several
weeks until he was determined to be competent. Those making the
determination were Dr. John Lawall and Dr. Barry Morenz. Moody
called Lawall to the stand first. 

Lawall: Bob Moody told me that he'd been chosen by Extrasensory
Biological Entities, which I referred to in my notes as aliens,
to demonstrate to the world their presence and their reality by
being executed and coming back to life.

Moody: And you find that totally implausible, isn't that correct?

Lawall: Yes.

(The UFOAZ crew who were operating the videotaping equipment
bristled. These were true believers learning for the first time
that the majority in the Pima County courthouse, at least,
thought a person was crazy if they believed in UFOs. It turned
out that the same week a national poll showed that half of the
county believed that UFOs were real and that the government was
covering up the fact of their existence.)

Moody: And why is that?

Lawall: I'm not sure. Totally implausible in what sense?

Moody: Well that's one of the reasons that I asked you why you
came up with that determination.

Lawall: Well, first of all there are a number of possible
explanations for this. One is  -- that is a correct statement. I
don't believe there's adequate evidence of alien visitation. I
think it's a possibility, but I don't believe in that myself and
I think that people who do believe in that have a belief that is
just based on inadequate data. And there are groups of people who
believe all kinds of things that appear to be true to more
skeptical and rational people. So I reject that explanation.
Another possible explanation would be that Bob Moody is suffering
from a mental illness. I rejected that explanation also. I don't
think that your statements, your behavior, your way of thinking
really qualify for mental disorder. I considered some
possibilities and rejected them. I could go into a whole big
discussion about the details of why I rejected various possible
mental conditions. And so there remains the third possibility
that you are making up, all or part of this story regarding the
aliens  and your interaction with them and their affect on you.
and the relationship of them to the allegations against you and
your behavior at the time of the alleged offenses.

Moody: As a professional forensic psychiatrist, if I were to
suggest to you that we were going to put a man on the moon and we
were in 1920, you'd call me crazy wouldn't you?

Lawall: I can't say.

Moody: I'm trying to make a comparison to something that's
totally plausible and something that is definitely possible but
not totally believable.

Lawall: I believe that space travel was not widely held to be
possible in 1920.

The next witness called by the defense was Dr. Barry Morenz. He
practiced psychiatry for the past 10 years at the University of
Arizona Medical Center, and has been certified as a forensic
psychiatrist since 1994. His present position is Associate
Professor of Clinical Psychiatry. He said: "My duties include
being medical director of our psychiatry in-patient unit. I also
conduct regular evaluation for courts and attorneys in Arizona."

Morenz: I said on the mental status exam Mister Moody is a
somewhat overweight pale bearded man with long stringy hair
dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit. He has no hint of cognitive
impairment whatsoever -- that refers to thinking, memory,
language function, ability to be logical, coherent -- he is
always extremely coherent and articulate with no derailment of
thinking... Uh, that means he really doesn't digress and talk in
a way that is hard to understand at all the way some type, some
mentally ill people do...

Case in point here: If a DID switches in and out of states that
were relatively incomprehensible then you could say that some
personalities would fit into Dr. Morenz's thinking. However, in
many of these cases the "presenting personality" is very
articulate and well behaved so that they can carry on the
business of the day. It would be very easy to have a newly formed
"lawyer personality" who was representing Moody and had no idea
who he was. Did anybody bother to ask Lawyer Moody if he ever met
Bob or Joe or whoever? If he is an DID he would probably say "no"
but that he is aware of them. If you asked him further what he
meant by being aware of them he might answer that someone told
him about them but he has never actually seen them or met them.
If you asked him if they were inside or outside of him, he might
respond with something like "that is a stupid question of course
they are outside of me, what do you think I am crazy or
something". This could go on and on and on.

Moody: How much time total did you spend with Bob Moody?

Morenz: Two hours and twenty-five minutes.

Moody: How long to put your report together, sum everything
up...?

Morenz: Ah, I spent a total of approximately five hours doing
this, including the time I spent with you and an hour and a half
looking at the video tapes and the rest was record review and
dictating a report...

Moody: You also reviewed a video in which Bob Moody was
interviewed by Public Access?

Morenz: I did.

Moody's lawyer personality was adroit. It zeroed in on how Morenz
conducted his Rule 11 findings. He asked what standardized tests
did he use to find him competent and sane.

Morenz: I don't use a standardized test no.

Moody: Any particular reason why you don't?

Morenz: There have been some questionnaires used for Rule 11
evaluations. None of them have been standardized. I don't give
the typical kinds of psychological testing that psychologists do
such as Minnesota Multiphasic Inventories, Rorcharch and the
like. They aren't typically part of my armamentarium. Times when
I feel they are useful I consult with the psychologists who
administer those tests. 

Moody: Can you tell us how many Rule 11 evaluations pertaining to
competency to stand trial and state of mind at the time of the
crime you've performed?

Morenz: I can't tell you exactly how many, but there have been
several hundred that I've performed. 

Moody: Over the last year how many Rule 11 evaluations have you
performed?

Morenz: Probably roughly on the order of a hundred.

Moody: Who usually contacts you and asks you to do a Rule 11
evaluation, the State or the defense?

Morenz: I'm usually contacted by the judge's secretary to
schedule the Rule 11. I don't always know who has nominated me by
the court. Sometimes I'm aware. Sometimes it's the prosecution
and sometimes it's the defense, it varies. 

Moody went for Morenz's prejudices. He asked him how many he'd
found competent to stand trial and how many he'd found sane last
year.

Morenz: The last time I checked, a couple of years ago, the
number I found competent to stand trial versus incompetent was
roughly equal. About 50-50. I infrequently find that someone is
insane at the time of the crime.

Moody: So, the majority of the time you find the defendant is
sane at the time of the crime?

Morenz: That is correct.

Moody: The information you were provided about Bob Moody... What
was that information and who did you receive that from?

Morenz: I received the indictment, Grand Jury transcript, motion
to sever, interview with Clifford Moody, Pima County Sheriff's
reports, Ewing's report from Los Angeles, Mr. Moody's legal
requests, testimony of Julie Herrera jail librarian, Psychiatric
evaluations by Dr. Potts, Dr. Joseph Geffen, records of Maricopa
County Mental Health Unit, portion of courtroom transcript during
Mr. Moody's competency hearing of 8-16-94, letter and list of
attachments from David White dated 6-30-95.

Moody: Were you provided any information at all from Attorney Dan
Grills on the defendant?

Morenz: No, I was not.

Moody: Do you recall requesting information from Dan Grills on
the defendant?

Morenz: I don't recall requesting any information. There was no
information that appeared to be necessary at the time I did the
examination.

Moody: All of the information you used, besides your personal
interview with Mr. Moody, was provided to you by Mister White, is
that correct?

Morenz admitted that he got no input from the defense and that it
was often his practice to use the info provided by just one side
or another to make an evaluation on Rule 11, competency and
sanity.

Morenz: That is correct. It is my opinion that Mr. Moody is
competent to stand trial, and there is no evidence that I could
find that he would not have known his acts were wrong at the time
of the crime.

Moody: During your evaluation of Bob Moody did he explain his
mission to you in detail.

Morenz: Yes he did.

Moody: Can you recall that?

Morenz: ...Mr. Moody indicated that sometime in March of 1994,
the extrasensory biologic entities informed him  (Judge
interrupts -- "Was that 1994?") He indicated that the ultimate
mission for him was not revealed until March of 1994... His
mission he described was to be found guilty of murder, sentenced
to death and then to facilitate having that sentence carried out
by foregoing any appeals at which time after he was given a
lethal Injection he would be resurrected to life and this would
prove the existence of the extrasensory biological entities.

Moody: Did Mr. Moody, during your evaluation, talk to you about
the government's cover-up of the existence of aliens or
extrasensory biological entities? Could you recall what he
stated?

Morenz: Yes. He described a Trilateral Commission that developed
around 1918 with Rothchilds and Rockefellers and the intent of
this commission was to cover-up the existence of extrasensory
biologic entities.

Moody: Did Bob Moody state to you that he had been abducted?

Morenz: Yes you did.

Moody: How many times?

Morenz: Multiple times. Dozens of times. 

Moody: Did he state where the aliens had abducted him to?

Morenz: Yes, to their ship in another dimension.

Moody: Did he also state to you how they communicated with him?

Morenz: Yes, the words you used were telesuggestion. Kind of
telepathic communication, not audible... communication is made
through special kinds of receptors utilizing a special type of
electromagnetic energy...

Moody: Did Bob Moody describe how the ship looked inside?

Morenz: Yes he did... He described the ship as looking something
like a small operating room, no windows, gray, everything was
somewhat fuzzy or moving...

Moody: Also in your report did you come up with the conclusion
that Bob Moody was malingering?

Morenz: Yes.

Moody: And what's the foundation on that?

Morenz: There are multiple clues to the presence of malingering
in your case. First of all you were eager to call attention to
the range of beliefs you had to the biologic extrasensory
entities. This is unusual in mental illness. Individuals in the
throes of a psychotic state are usually not inclined to discuss
the range of illusions and delusions they may have. The story
that you provided was far fetched and totally implausible to not
comport with the vast majority of psychiatric, even severe
psychiatric problems I have come into contact with or read about.

(Our panel  of experts says this is true. Most abductees do not
go to Psychiatrists.)

Morenz: The form of mental illness was not imitated very well by
Mr. Moody. There was no impaired relatedness, there was no
disorganized thinking, in fact he described this extrasensory
biologic entities and his entire experience with them in very
intricate detail. He was very logical. It was a very good story.
He had multiple motivations for his -- multiple kinds of
explanations, if you will, for his behavior. On the one hand he
described the extrasensory biologic entities were still
controlling him. If that were the case, he would be considered
incompetent to stand trial. He (Moody) described that basically
the extrasensory biologic entities made him do it so that he was
insane at the time of the offense. Further he described that the
entire trial process was entirely unfair so that there would be a
 mistrial. So there was sort of multiple avenues of escape for
him to relieve himself of responsibility in the accusations
against him....

(HERE again Morenz reported the content of a switch in Moody's
personality but failed to recognize what it meant. Moody believed
the accusations were against him. THIS was not the same Moody who
wanted to be executed. Note the inconsistency here -- first he
says that they made him do it, then he says that there are
avenues of escape for him to relieve himself of responsibility
from the accusations against him.)

Morenz: Additional items which support the probability of
malingering in Mr. Moody's case is that during my interviews with
him he attempted to control and dominate those interviews. That
is very unusual for psychiatric patients. (But, according to Dr.
Dean, most usual for DID male patients.) They are usually very
compliant, or if they're very paranoid and psychotic they'll just
attempt to terminate the interview prematurely. Moody, again
attempted to control the interview. The other item is that Mr.
Moody's behavior had another explanation for it other than
psychosis which was obtaining money for his cocaine dependence
which by that time was fairly substantial. The other item I
considered was that psychological testing by Dr. Geffen as well
as at the Maricopa County Jail observations by the jail team,
indicated the possibility of malingering and no severe mental
illness.

Mr. Moody described the extrasensory biological entities telling
him what to do. In most cases patients with command
hallucinations, in other words voices telling them what to do,
ignore the command. 

(This could be true in most cases, but Morenz didn't know how to
interrogate a DID patient. He should have asked him if the
command was inside or outside of him. This would clearly
differentiate where the commands came from.

(By this time it had become painfully obvious that Dr. Morenz was
not familiar with the literature, not even one of the most famous
cases of DID serial murderers, the Berkowitz case in which there
were commands similar to the ones Moody described which made him
kill.)

Morenz: Mr. Moody's symptoms, the Extrasensory Biological
Entities and his multiple personalities do not fit typical
presentations of psychiatric illness.

(According to the DID professionals we showed this transcript to,
this is a very naive statement for a person in Morenz's position
to make. He says that Moody's multiple personalities do not fit
typical presentations of psychiatric illness. Our panel of
experts believes that if Morenz had examined him further, probing
the child states and the angry, rage filled states he would have
changed his opinion and his diagnosis.

(A case in point: If an individual says "God made me do it," he
will probably be considered crazy because God is revered in this
society. But if someone says the devil made me do, there is a
question as to whether or not he would be found competent to
stand trial. Dr. Thomas Szazz has written about this at length
and claims that this is an excuse, nothing else. So, if "aliens
made me do it" is the claim, the next thing to determine is are
the aliens inside of his head.)

Morenz: They suggest an atypical psychosis which is a good clue
for malingering, especially in a forensic context. Some of Mr.
Moody's statements were inconsistent with statements he allegedly
made to others such as Carlos Logan. Mr. Logan indicated that he
had complete awareness of his action toward the victims...

(When the going gets tough, Doctor, the weird turn pro. This
hearsay was most likely an account of Carlos Logan's interview
with Moody's killer personality -- Moody the killer, not Moody
the patient or Moody the lawyer, or Moody the little kid.)

Morenz: Finally ,visual hallucinations are usually of normal
sized people. Mr. Moody described "Nordics" as being six to eight
feet tall and the "Greys" three to five feet tall. Usually the
visual hallucinations people experience are of other people and
not extraterrestrial type of beings. 

(According to our panel of experts, Morenz is probably impaired
and should be reported to the proper supervisory authorities.)
Moody: So Doctor, a normal hallucination is someone of normal
size?

Morenz: Usually.

(Did he mean to suggest that there were normal hallucinations?
Moody asked him to read a particular paragraph of his report into
the record.)

Morenz: That begins: "Mr. Moody reported that the EBEs could
manipulate him and his consciousness. He states that knowing his
ultimate mission in march of 1994, the EBEs were trying to gain
complete control over him. He stated that one of the ways of
gaining complete control was by compelling him to use large
quantities of rock cocaine. He stated that this made him fall
asleep for almost a week leading up to the time of the alleged
offenses..."

Moody: Did Bob Moody also indicate something about his eyesight?

Morenz: Yes he did. He stated that during his acts towards the
victims he could see almost 360 degrees on the one hand, however
at the same time he couldn't hear anything. He went through the
acts as if (seeing them) through a video camera....

(If Morenz had experience with DID patients he would know that
they often describe being out of their body and seeing 360
degrees as well as not being able to hear anything when they are
in certain states. Morenz then testified that the EBE's put Moody
on vacation.

(Morenz said he found no evidence of a psychological disorder in
Moody except cocaine dependence. He said he believed that Moody
was malingering. He said that Moody did state he wanted to be
found competent and sane. This, again, does not go along with his
statement that he wanted to get off of the things that he was
alleged to do. Morenz's conclusions also overlooked the legal
aspects of an "under the influence of a substance" defense,
which being under the influence of cocaine would suggest. Morenz
is clearly wound up to do the State's bidding and send an insane
person to life imprisonment or death by lethal injection.

(Morenz stated that Moody's descriptions of the EBE's were
"farfetched and totally implausible." Yet, these are the same
descriptions that are found throughout the literature and studied
in depth at the Alien Abduction Conference held at MIT.
According to Ted Loman and other UFO experts, there are even
photographs of these entities released by the governments of
other countries which are more inclined to let the public in on
what is going on.

(Then came the prosecutor's turn to cross-examine the witness.)

White: Are you saying that you don't believe in the existence of
aliens?

Morenz: To date I'm not aware of scientific reproducible evidence
that such entities exist. The Universe is a very wonderful place
and I'm sure there are  many phenomena that none of us understand
or have witnessed yet...

White: Did the defendant report multiple personality disorder?

Morenz: He also reported having multiple personality disorder. He
enumerated four of the personalities and then went on by saying
there were more personalities he didn't want to get into, but his
descriptions of his multiple personality disorder did not fit the
conventional description of multiple personality.

White: What do you mean by that?

Morenz: Usually the definition includes people who alternately
have one personality then another gain control of the individual.
In Mr. Moody's case he said that predominantly one of the
personalities was in control and the others didn't really
manifest themselves very often. Nor was there any evidence that
the other personalities had distinct different personalities.
There wasn't handwriting evidence of different kinds of speech
between the personalities, different kinds of dress, different
kinds of emotionality, which is what you see with a typical
multiple personality. He also indicated that all the
personalities were totally aware of one another. Usually there is
less awareness of one personality for the other...

(Again Morenz shows his ignorance about DID's. There often is a
presenting personality -- not necessarily one who is in control.
The one in control can be a persecutor personality such as the
devil or a previous perpetrator, something like an alien. There
was plenty of evidence of Moody's handwriting which both the
prosecution and the defense had. It showed a variety of different
handwritings, all supposedly Robert Moody's. Morenz's reference
to dress is vague. Moody was stuck with prison orange by the time
Morenz interviewed him. Besides, dress changes take place more
often with female DID's.

(The different kinds of emotionality was seen by people attending
the hearings and by some of those who interviewed Moody in his
cell. There was a child personality and a hostile personality
which were easy to differentiate. As far as Moody's claim of his
total awareness between his personalities, our experts don't
think that is correct. He probably does have some personalities
that are co-conscious, and he might believe that he knows all his
parts, but that's only a belief.

(The doctors job was to bring out the hidden personalities, the
ones which caused the problems. But Dr. Morenz was not
experienced with DID males who are high functioning, let alone
with ones which have an alien killer personality inside them.)

White: So there are people who truly have a mental disease that
makes them act in a way of a multiple personality?

Morenz: There certainly are some that fit that description.

White: But those that truly fit that disease act in a certain way
and he did not act in that way?

(The estimates of how many DID's are out there in the United
States has grown from a handful in the 1960's to the millions
today. Most DID's remain misdiagnosed due to the ignorance of the
profession.

(Our panel of experts tells us that DID's do not act in any
certain way at all. They act in every way possible and are
usually brilliant, like Robert Moody, and extremely good at
manipulating others.)

Morenz: Not at all... he didn't act in that way.

(There is a bad joke among mental health professionals who work
with DID's. It goes something like this: 

Question: "How does a DID act?"

Answer: "Like you and I until they switch."

Question: "And when do they switch?"

Answer: "When you're not looking."

(At the end of Morenz's testimony, Moody did not redirect. Had he
not been acting as his own attorney, and had there been a
competent team  -- a lawyer and an MPD expert -- at his table,
Morenz's testimony would have presented a great opportunity. 

(A number of M.D.'s and PHD's think that mental health
evaluations should be left entirely out of the legal process.
They say, try the case on the evidence and forget the questions
of competency and sanity. After hearing the testimony of some of
these "mental health experts" one might have a tendency to agree.
But without any or better ground rules to establish competency
any accused person might find himself in the position of Robert
Moody, declared competent, then put in the crazy position of
defending himself. 

(The saying, "a defendant who represents himself, has a fool for
a client," is well known. In this case, this defendant
represented himself, got his crazy outcome -- two counts of
guilty, by using a whole internal team of fools to present his
case. 

(Many were disappointed that the aliens were not called to
testify.)
        
OTHER POINTS THE MOODY CASE SERVES TO ILLUSTRATE:

Bowart asks for comments on this information from professionals.
He also asks the FOTF membership for help in researching the
following:

THE LAW'S UNWILLINGNESS TO CONFRONT THE ALIEN QUESTION

Any newspaper clippings or court records of the other convicted
murderers who have claimed, as Robert Moody has, that they were
"possessed by aliens" which made them commit murder. Anything
which might contribute to an overview of these cases to show the
similarities to Moody's case would be most useful. Any records of
the court cases involving "alien possession" and aliens that have
been channeled are also welcome. Anything which might show a
pattern of belief, if not of law.
         
TURNING POINT OF BELIEF -- COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

A history of the surveys of public opinion shows a growing belief
in UFO's and extraterrestrial visitations. One of the latest
polls shows that 50% of the American public believes in the
reality of extraterrestrial visitations. Send in your examples
please.

Any clippings or documentation which shows a possible emerging
trend in the development of an "alien legal defense". Any
evidence or articles on the pattern of reports of physical
evidence from UFO landings and alien encounters which show that
they are real is balanced by equal and opposite plausible
explanations of why they are not real. Anything on the number of
hoaxes which, it is reported, are small. Recent examples of the
U.S. government being caught in "disinformation" or outright lies
about UFO encounters. Government threatening witnesses for the
purpose of shutting them up in order to create the effects of
cognitive dissonance.
             
GOVERNMENT STUDIES OF TELEPATHY AND ESP

Evidence that the CIA has funded research into ESP, telepathy,
and most recently "remote viewing". Evidence that the cryptocracy
has, at the same time, funded a debunking campaign of its own
positive results.

We're looking for solid scientific evidence which suggests that
there could be such a thing as telepathy -- thus giving some
credence to those who've claimed telepathic communication with
aliens . Any clips which shows telepathy would be the alien's
favorite form of communication.

We also need evidence of "channeled" alien information which may
fit the Moody story.
                     
CONTACTEES VS ABDUCTEES

Any new information to complete a history of alien encounters
from the early "contacts" to the "abductees."

Any supporting documentation on The Report from Iron Mountain.

The question is raised: To what extent does the government
orchestrate the UFO phenomenon?
           
MOODY'S STORY AS AN EXPRESSION OF THE PLAN

If the cryptocracy has a plan to spoon feed the public, little by
little, allowing them access to more and more information about
the hidden truth that we are not alone in the universe, and that
we've been contacted for centuries if not millennia by hundreds
of different alien races, and that telepathy -- mind to mind
communication -- is the intergalactic language, and that we
humans are descendants of one race or several similar races of
intergalactic civilizations who have lost their birthright to the
stars and to the oneness of the cosmos, then Moody's story could
be part of their plan to educate us. Your comments please.
                 
SERIAL KILLERS AND MASS MURDERS

What do serial killers who have been molded by the military have
in common? Is there a pattern to these killings? What is the
government's liability in all this? If the Pentagon is going to
make killers of ordinary men, shouldn't it unmake them before
returning them to civilian life? What changes need to be made in
Federal Torts Laws?
            
DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER INSTITUTIONALIZED 
 
We need to look at "need to know" compartmentalization and the
rogue elephant aspects of the National Security State, the
history of Nazi research in mind control and its
institutionalization as information control in an information
age.
                    
POLITICS OF DISSOCIATION

We must examine the infighting of the mental health
professionals. Where do their ideas come from and how do new
ideas become accepted? What evidence do we have that The False
Memory Spindrome Foundation is an intelligence backlash -- a
limited hangout to help keep the secrets of 
compartmentalization? What new evidence do we have of 
government "spychiatrists" who created the technology for 
planting false memories suddenly revealing ( fifty years too 
late) that false memories can be implanted by hypnotists, and 
in the normal course of psychotherapy?

Moody filed a motion for a new trial on November 9th. His
sentencing is scheduled for late January 1996. His phone use has
been restricted. He needs contributions to get a diagnosis.
Psychiatrists are charging $350 per hour for jailhouse
interviews.
