From the Fucked-Up Files of Mrs. Law E. Lawyer

Here's another fucked-up legal question to scratch your head to:

States cannot execute an inmate if he is found to be insane. Can states force an inmate to take anti-psychotic medication so that he is no longer considered insane, and then execute him? (The answer is no. See State v. Perry, 610 So. 2d 746 (La. 1992). But it's pretty fucked up that this case got to the Louisiana Supreme Court, isn't it? I mean, had they already tried to forcibly administer the meds before the suit was brought?)

Blogging substitutes for studying. All in good fun.
