PTSD Question Leaves Brevard County Facing "National Embarrassment"

PTSD Afghanistan Veteran Fights to Keep Job As Brevard County Judge and I have to admit, I didn't think it could not be true. Yesterday a news report came out with more information on this. Other judges say that it was just an excuse. Now I am not so sure if he really has it or is just using it to cover up what he did.

Was he in denial? Wouldn't be the first time that happened. Was he misdiagnosed before? Again, wouldn't be the first time. This story leaves too many questions on what real justice would be.
