PTSD Tort Defense

[Sharon]

I just came from my Torts class. I am studying for my Paralegal Degree to be a Nurse Paralegal. I am looking for some references/citations to cases involving defendants who used PTSD as a defense and where still convicted. I am even more interested if the crime or tort occurred against a nurse in the workplace.

A couple of classmates, who claim to be healthcare workers, have stated in class that no one with PTSD can be convicted of a tort or crime because:

1.all people with PTSD are incompetent and require hospitalization and,

2.only veterans can have PTSD.

I don't need a discussion on these wrong statements I need specific case citations before 7 pm EST tomorrow. I do not have access to either Westlaw or Lexis before then.

Thank you for limiting your responses to specific cases.
