This memorandum discusses whether the government can involuntarily administer antipsychotic drugs to the client, Jason Nelson, to render him competent to stand trial for manslaughter charges. Medical experts believe there is only a 20% chance the drugs would make Nelson competent. The memorandum analyzes relevant case law, including Sell v. United States and United States v. Ghane, and concludes that involuntarily medicating Nelson would be unconstitutional because there is not a substantial probability the drugs would make him trial-competent, as required.
