Loughner's lawyers: Forced medication has resumed

By Michael Winter, USA TODAY

The federal psychiatric prison holding Jared Loughner has resumed forcibly medicating the Tucson shooting-rampage suspect, his lawyers say.

Loughner has been found incompetent to stand trial in the January rampage that killed six and wounded 13 others, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Last week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reiterated its earlier order that Missouri prison officials could not medicate Loughner involuntarily while it reviews his appeal.

The Associated Press reports that in court filings today, Loughner's attorneys questioned whether the forced medication violates the court's order. The filings say forced medication was resumed on an "emergency basis" because prison officials said Loughner was a danger to himself.

They say he has been on 24-hour suicide watch, but he denies having suicidal thoughts.

The appeals court's decision will be reviewed at a hearing scheduled for Aug. 29.
