It's a case right out of a pulp novel plot: A transgender woman accused of being a serial killer is blaming the 1990 murders of three prostitutes in Washington State on her past male persona. This according to a report by ABC News.

Donna Perry, 62, had gender reassignment surgery in Thailand and said when a person transitions from male to female, "there's a great downturn in violence."

She also told police that she intentionally had the operation, which she underwent in 2000, "as a permanent way to control violence" purportedly perpetrated when she was her male self, Douglas Perry.

As a result, the accused serial killer's defense boils down to this: It was not Donna Perry but Douglas Perry who allegedly killed the women in Washington state.

Do you buy it?

So will this accused transgender serial killer's defense hold up in court?

Are the male and female versions of Doug/Donna Perry two different people?



One the alleged killer; the other an innocent woman?
