Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Trempealeau County v. B.K.,
Case No.: 2020AP1166
Officials: SEIDL, J.
Focus: Involuntary Commitment and Medication
Brian appeals from an order of commitment and an order for involuntary medication and treatment, entered pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 51.20. Brian argues that his due process rights were violated because he was not given particularized notice as to which standard of dangerousness under § 51.20(1)(a)2. the County intended to pursue at his final commitment hearing. Brian also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence establishing that he was dangerous to himself or others under any of the standards set forth in § 51.20(1)(a)2. We affirm.
