PTSD?

This homicide case now rests with the jury. The defense is PTSD. Cortez was a Marine medic with two tours to Iraq. The defense contends (with 7 experts agreeing to different degrees) that Cortez is not guilty by reason of insanity or he was unable to forumlate intent, which is a requirement for First Degree Murder. I will keep you posted.
