WE ARE JANI

Dr Jeni Haynes’ childhood mind and body became a crime scene. To survive years of unspeakable abuse, her psyche fractured into 2,682 alternate personalities — an “army of alters” who each carried fragments of memory. For decades , she was dismissed as unreliable, delusional, unbelievable. Until one detective listened. In a world - first legal precedent, Jeni’s alters were permitted to take the stand in an Australian courtroom. Confronted with their testimony, her father changed his plea to guilty and was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
