competency to stand trialinvoluntary medicationSellWisconsin State Statute Held to Be Unconstitutional Because of Failure to Comply with Sell StandardIn State v. Fitzgerald, 929 N.W.2d 165 (Wis. 2019), the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that the standard for ordering involuntary medication to restore competency set by Wis. Stat. § 971.14(3)(dm) and Wis. Stat.§ 971.14(4)(b) (2017-2018) was unconstitutional to the extent it required courts to order involuntary medication without addressing the criteria established in Sell v. United States, 539 U.S. 166 (2003).
