ChipNASA sends us a link to the story about Danan L. Edwards. In mid-May<\/a>, this former Marine was arrested for assaulting a North Syracuse police officer, Robert Florian, who was investigating a hit-and-run accident. <\/p>\n

Edwards has been charged with two felonies, second-degree assault and assault on a police officer. He was also charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Police say Edwards struck Florian several times and that the assault was sudden and unprovoked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So today, Syracuse.com<\/a> reports that his lawyer told the court that his time in the Marine Corps affected Edward’s judgement;<\/p>\n

A Syracuse veteran accused of a savage, unprovoked attack on a North Syracuse police officer partially blamed the attack on debilitating emotional trauma he suffered while in the Marines.<\/p>\n

Danon Edwards, 33, said through his lawyer that his military service left him emotionally scarred and unable to work. He told is lawyer, Chris Gaiser, that he served in the “Gulf War.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, the first time we ever heard that, right? Well, the article continues;<\/p>\n

Edwards was actually a peacetime food service worker and never left the country, according to the U.S. Marines.<\/p>\n

His record shows he was a Marine from July 19, 1999 to Jan. 31, 2003. He had the rank of private and served as a “food service specialist.”<\/p>\n

There’s no indication of overseas assignment or deployment, the Marines noted.<\/p>\n

In court, Gaiser said Edwards’ service “may have had an effect on his emotional stability.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
