I get so sick of people being allowed to use how they were brought up as an excuse for how they behave. I can tell you my life story, but I will spare you the details and not go there. We can CHOOSE to be who we want! and not let our circumstances control who we are! End of rant!

Juries are made up (except in that wacked out county in Florida) of average people like you and me. How do they keep straight faces when faced with all this pseudo, scientific, mumbo jumbo about traumas? I'd be hiding my giggling and pinching myself to stop.
