Serial Killer Rodney Alcala, defended himself in a trial and interrogated himself for 5 hours.

"Rodney Alcala" on @Wikipedia: "For the third trial Alcala elected to act as his own attorney. He took the stand in his own defense, and for five hours played the roles of both interrogator and witness, asking himself questions (addressing himself as "Mr. Alcala" in a deeper-than-normal voice), and then answering them.[36] During this bizarre self-questioning and answering session he told jurors, often in a rambling monotone, that he was at Knott's Berry Farm when Samsoe was kidnapped.[33] He showed the jury a portion of his 1978 appearance on The Dating Game in an attempt to prove that the earrings found in his Seattle locker were his, not Samsoe's;[37] but any earrings he might have worn on the program were obscured by his shoulder-length hair.[38] He made no significant effort to dispute the four added charges.[13] As part of his closing argument, he played the portion of the Arlo Guthrie song "Alice's Restaurant" in which the protagonist tells a psychiatrist that he wants to "kill".[39]" @Curionic
