COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – The man charged with fatally shooting three people and injuring nine more at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs says he’s been forcibly medicated at the state psychiatric hospital. Robert Dear made the claim Tuesday.
It’s unclear if his claim is true. Dear’s attorney said the forced medication issue was addressed at a previously unannounced hearing last week in Pueblo. Attorneys for both sides declined to discuss what happened.
Dear has been held at the hospital since May, when a judge ruled he wasn’t fit to continue his legal proceedings.
Tuesday’s hearing dealt mostly with motions about access to documents. Another hearing is set for November 17th.
