P. v. McDuffie
Defendant appeals from a trial court order authorizing the involuntary administration of antipsychotic medications in order to render him competent to stand trial. Appellant argues on appeal that the trial court’s order is not supported by substantial evidence and, therefore, should be reversed. Court concluded the record does not contain substantial evidence that it is “substantially likely” the involuntary administration of medication to McDuffie will render him competent to stand trial. Therefore, court reversed.
