 Permission to forcibly medicate Wanda Barzee was also sought, relying upon the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in "Sell v. United States" (2003), which permits compulsory medication when the state can demonstrate a compelling interest is served by restoring a person's competence and that medication would not harm the person or prevent him from defending himself.In June 2006, a Utah judge approved the forcible medication of Barzee so that she could stand trial.On December 18, 2006, Mitchell was again declared unfit to stand trial in the Utah state courts after screaming at a judge during a hearing to "forsake those robes and kneel in the dust."
