"A lawyer in Portland, Ore. Plans to argue that his client beat his two-year-old son to death because his ancestors were abused as slaves hundreds of years ago, reports the Portland Oregonian.

Lawyer Randall Vogt plans says his client, Isaac Cortez Bynum, whipped and broke his son’s neck and ribs because he suffers from post-traumatic slave syndrome.

The syndrome’s main proponent, Portland academic Joy DeGruy-Leary, claims that because African Americans never got a chance to heal from slavery and still face racism, oppression and societal inequality, they suffer from multigenerational trauma."

There is probably some truth in there ... but using it to defend baby killer daddy flushes any trace of legitamacy right down the pooper. THIS is the kinda crap that pisses me off. Totally counter-productive. Grrr n stuff. I need more coffee damnit.

I can't beleive that any of you guys buy any of that multigenerational trauma. It's utter bull****.

If this guy is admitting the offence and that is his defence than this is one case where I would be happy to see the death penalty administered.

And I'm anti-death penalty.

the only "multigenerational trauma" comes from when your dad kicks your arse for doing something stupid. the judge should tell this lawyer that he's free to use that defense, but if the jury finds the guy guilty he has to serve the time in prison with him....see how "valid" he thinks it is then...
