Story here. Excerpt:

'PHOENIX -- Jodi Arias' psychologist diagnosed her with a form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), to explain her memory problems.

Arias claims she shot her ex-lover, Travis Alexander, in self defense in 2008, but cannot remember stabbing him 27 times, slitting his throat, or dragging him into the shower.
...
Twitter and blogs are full of veterans who are suffering from PTSD, claiming Arias diagnosis is "nauseating" and "offensive."

"It's insulting if someone's using it as an excuse," Iraq War Veteran Steve Crowley told 3TV.'
