2019Accordingly, we choose to examine the constitutionality of § 971.14.7 We hold that § 971.14(4)(b) is unconstitutional to the extent it requires circuit courts to order involuntary medication based on the standard set forth in paragraph (3)(dm), which does not comport with Sell, 539 U.S. 166 . ¶23 Fitzgerald argues that Wis. Stat. § 971.14 is inconsistent with the factors outlined in Sell, resulting in an unconstitutional violation of his protected liberty interest in avoiding involuntary medication.
