Of course, it was his &#8220;deployment to the Middle East&#8221; that caused him to blackout and murder the young woman;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dorsey said he doesn&#8217;t remember a lot from the day he went to Mills&#8217; apartment three years ago. On the stand, Dorsey told the jury he doesn&#8217;t remember stabbing the 24-year-old mother.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All I remember was that she said I was disrespectful and that she was upset,&#8221; Dorsey said.<\/p>\n<p>Dorsey said he blacked out while standing in the kitchen of the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t thinking, my body was just reacting. It was like I wasn&#8217;t in control,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Dorsey&#8217;s lawyer said his client has post-traumatic stress disorder. Dorsey was deployed to the Middle East while serving in the Army National Guard two years before the murder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder where he was deployed in the Middle East. Someone needs to grab these lawyers by their shirt collars and make them understand how these false claims of PTSD are damaging the reputations of every veteran in the country. I understand that their jobs are to defend their client, but one would think that they&#8217;d find something other than these imagined symptoms of post traumatic stress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Kone sends us a link to a story in Louisville, Kentucky where three years ago &hellip; <a title=\"Deshon Dorsey; PTSD as a murder defense\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73323\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Deshon Dorsey; PTSD as a murder defense<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73323\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
