Description
2 After a jury trial, Russell was committed under the so-called "fifth standard," WIS. STAT.Ƨ 51.20(1)(a)2.e., which "permits commitment only when a mentally ill person needs care or treatment to prevent deterioration but is unable to make an informed choice to accept it." State v. Dennis H., 2002 WI 104, 39, 255 Wis. 2d 359, 647 N.W.2d 851. 3 In a special verdict, the jury found that Russell was mentally ill, was dangerous to himself or others, and was a proper subject for treatment. After making additional findings, the circuit court determined that Russell lacked competency to refuse psychotropic medication.
