Terrorist sentenced to pay for causing post-traumatic Parkinsonism
There has been an interesting court ruling today in Spain. A Basque terrorist (Jon Bienzobas) has been sentenced to 30 years for shooting and killing attorney general Tomás y Valiente right in front of his son. It was considered that the victim's son developed Parkinson's disease as a consequence of post-traumatic stress and Bienzobas has been sentenced to pay him 400.000 Euros (about half a million $).
The most interesting part is, obviously, that it has been now legally established that you can develop Parkinsonism due to extreme stress, which leaves the door open for many law suits in the future.
