Trauma in childhood was the cause for Jihad attack??

Is it really possible that people can swallow such a ridiculous notion that a Jihadist who is clearly motivated by Jihad is really just experiencing PTSD? Or an abusive childhood? How do lawyers convince the juries and how does the jury believe them? Reading the Blumenfeld article is chililng indeed.
