| | COURT TV ONLINE - Mass. v. Sharpe |
 | | Balliro said Karen Sharpe, the defendant's high school sweetheart and the mother of their three children, kept him from falling apart, but when she left the marriage, he began to crumble mentally. |
 | | Many potential jurors were excused because they said they had read news accounts of Sharpe's habit of dressing in wigs and stockings and disapproved. |
 | | During the trial, Sharpe testified that cross-dressing relaxed him, and his psychiatric expert, Dr. Keith Ablow, said that, along with Sharpe's various plastic surgeries, his cross-dressing was proof the doctor suffered an identity disorder, one of several diagnosed by Ablow. |
