Shane sends us a link from Philly.com<\/a> about Larry Rodriguez, who claims to be a veteran. He murdered a hooker, Sonya Lewis, in 2012 by strangling her. Of course, it was the PTSD that made him do it – not the fact that he smoked cracked and abused alcohol;<\/p>\n

A nine-year Army veteran who said he suffers from service-related post-traumatic stress disorder was sentenced Tuesday to 18 to 36 years in prison for strangling a woman in 2012 during a night fueled by drink and crack cocaine.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi told Larry Rodriguez that although officials were not able to access his military records, she did not doubt he suffered from PTSD.<\/p>\n

But DeFino-Nastasi said it was equally clear Rodriguez knew he became very violent when using alcohol and crack, because in 2008 he tried to strangle his mother.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So let me get this straight; the court can’t get his military records, so they’re taking his word that he is a nine-year veteran? Folks, military records aren’t classified. If you can’t get his records, he probably doesn’t have any records – he probably didn’t serve. Aren’t there any veterans in the Philadelphia judicial system who can tell the judge that discharge records aren’t classified?<\/p>\n

[Rodriguez’ Defense attorney Joseph J. Valvo] argued that Rodriguez’s problems resulted from PTSD from being near an explosion in dIraq.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that explosion makes him strangle women. Thousands of veterans of the Iraq War didn’t strangle any women yesterday, even though they were “near an explosion”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
