    I don't think the defendant was actually wrong here, he was saying that he was getting better through therapy, and that medication was not working and his being confined to a cell for 23 hours a day was probably detrimental. Basically he needs therapy and to get outside more which is reasonable for a lot of issues. So to tie his release to a requirement of medication is just wrong, and not a decision a judge should be making. The judge should mandate treatment, in whatever form the defendant's doctor feels is correct, but a non-medical professional such as the judge should never be mandating medication. That's a gross overreach of power. The exception would be if a doctor had specifically suggested a particular medication to the judge, but if that's the case then we're just missing information.

    I wonder what he did to have been in for 100 days?

      The vast majority of people accused of any kind of significant crime end up being held until trial. Judges intentionally set the bond at a level they are fairly certain you'll never be able to afford, or they put conditions on your release that most people don't have the means to comply with so they just sit in jail.
      "Bond" in it's current form is used as a form of pre-trial punishment instead of for it's intended purpose.

    I agree with him. The court shouldn't be able to say he needs a medication plan when the judge isnt a doctor. Seems to me like anyone who ends up in court could walk out with a medication plan attached. If you can force medication on someone, they might as well bring back lobotomies, but then that would hurt the drug sales, wouldn't it.
