Iraqi Vet Suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Represented by Sullivan & Brill, is Sentenced to Time Served and Probation Following Conviction for Manslaughter in the Second Degree and Vehicular Manslaughter

After close to two years since his accident and arrest for Manslaughter in the Second Degree and Vehicular Manslaughter, Sullivan & Brill's client, an Iraqi Vet, was sentenced to time served and five years of probation. S&B's client was deployed and then re-deployed to Iraq from 2004-2005 – perhaps the bloodiest and most violent era of the Iraqi war. Sullivan & Brill's Client suffered from Post -Traumatic Stress Disorder, which manifested itself in alcohol and drug abuse and, was argued, was the proximate cause of the S&B's client's conduct on the night of the accident. Further supporting that the S&B's client's Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder played a major role in the accident, S&B also argued that the actions of S&B's client on the night of the accident, was inconsistent with his behavior and judgment prior to this tours in Iraq.
