| Eagle Forum Files Brief in U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Dr. Sell. |
|
On Oct. 7, 2002, Eagle Forum Education & Legal Defense Fund filed an amicus curiae brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Dr. Sell. We support Dr. Sell's petition for certiorari to overturn a divided Court of Appeals decision. Dr. Sell has been held in jail for nearly five (5) years without a trial, as the federal government attempts to forcibly inject him with mind-altering drugs. The government claims this is necessary to render the non-violent Dr. Sell mentally fit for trial, but he has already served more time in jail than the maximum sentence for the underlying crime.

What can you do about the strange case of Dr. Sell? |
A Missouri dentist, Dr. Sell, was arrested 8 years ago on charges of overbilling in his dental practice, and has been held in prison without a trial ever since because of claims that he has "paranoid delusions of the persecutory type". He denies the charges and wants a trial. The government tried to forcibly medicate him with mind-altering drugs until the Supreme Court intervened last year. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently reported that there are unreleased videotapes that document prison abuse of Dr. Sell.
