President Obama steps in to help bank robber?

Why would he do it? Because he is a Marine/combat veteran with PTSD and needed help. The VA took care of him but only after he had to go through all of this.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A Valley veteran is pleading insanity to criminal charges for robbing two banks.

Marine Sgt. Marco Lopez landed in jail just after a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder, and later got help with his condition from the President of the United States.

Sgt. Lopez doesn't deny that he robbed two banks and he's very apologetic about the crimes. But Lopez says he wasn't in his right mind at the time and some legal analysts tell Action News one thing that happened really supports his claim.

Lopez's condition started to improve after he was arrested, but only after President Obama stepped in in response to letters from family members.
