Last week, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court upheld a forced treatment order for a man named John Wood who is currently in Mendota Mental Health Institute.  His lawyer was questioning the constitutionality of a statute because "it violates due process by allowing involuntary medication without finding if a person is a danger and fails to require a periodic review."  2 justices agreed with this but ultimately, it was a 5/2 vote in maintaining his forced medication and the statute.

Here are some links about the case:

The actions that I know we have taken thus far are:

-contacting Jim Gottstein to get his legal opinion

-looking into how to get in contact with John himself at Mendota

-contacting MindFreedom to notify them of the situation

-contacting the reporter who wrote that article from last July in the Isthmus to see if would interest her to write a story about this case
