Nothing the courts can do will undo the harm to his victim, but the courts have to consider the potential for diminished capacity on the part of the perpetrator. His guilt would certainly be more serious if his assault had been premeditated and he’d been mentally healthy. It strange seems to me impossible to strange argue that a strange PTSD sufferer has undiminished mental capacity and to argue that PTSD is a real and serious psychiatric problem. Of course I’m assuming the rapist has PTSD, and this isn’t just a legal maneuver to get him a lighter sentence. Perhaps a better course would be to give him the full sentence but to ensure he had access to mental health services to make him safer when he’s eventually released. 3 Pam Spaulding Mar 7th, 2006 at 9:22 pm All these soldiers coming home are not going to get the psych treatment and counseling they really need. BushCo has made sure that they get shortchanged. 4 Mister Nice Guy Mar 7th, 2006 at 9:35 pm There’s something awfully tempting about relieving these guys of the blame…provided there were some way it could be placed on those who are ultimately responsible.
