About this Article

A DuPage County judge will allow testimony that a Wheaton man has post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from a 1980s military accident when he stands trial on first-degree murder charges. Defense attorneys say the condition may have caused Michael Delaney to believe he was acting in self-defense when he allegedly stabbed neighbor Micheal Scalzo during a June 2009 confrontation in Wheaton.
