Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Crime

Audio currently not available for this program.

Increasing numbers of returning soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan are expected to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. And with it comes a number of other problems -- sufferers of PTSD are more likely to get addicted to drugs and engage in high risk behavior. A recent case in Northern California has raised a difficult question: If a returned soldier with PTSD commits crimes as a result of his illness, how should the criminal justice system respond? Judy Campbell takes a look at the case of an Army captain facing 12 years in prison for robbing two pharmacies. Reporter: Judy Campbell
