IRC chat quote leading to forced medication?
-- http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_530027.html Court urged to stop medicating of man who made threats against Bush Ananova Tuesday 26th February 2002 Attorneys for a man charged with threatening George W Bush want the Supreme Court to stop doctors from medicating him. Justices were asked to halt the forced medication of Richard Allen Humphreys. The court has not intervened in similar cases. Humphreys, of Portland, Oregon, was charged last spring when he was overheard making comments about the president in South Dakota. A judge said last May that he was incompetent to stand trial. He is being held in solitary confinement in a federal medical centre in Minnesota, according to William Delaney III, an assistant federal public defender. Mr Delaney told justices that Humphreys is being forced to take psychotropic drugs once a week. A judge agreed to allow the medication. The Secret Service said evidence against Humphreys included a copy of an internet chat room conversation with the comment: "If you hear that a man runs up and throws gasoline and a match to Bush you will know that God did speak through the burning Bush." http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_530027.html
