Description
The Department of Mental Health appeals the unconditional release pursuant to section 552.040 of Scotty J. Weekly. The Department contends that the trial court did not apply the correct standards in its decision. We agree that the trial court misapplied the law. The judgment is reversed. Statement of Facts Scotty J. Weekly was a chronic user of intravenous amphetamines. On September 8, 1994, Weekly was in a psychotic state. While under the delusion that his family was in danger, Weekly commandeered a vehicle. Weekly forced an individual, at gunpoint, to drive him various places in search of his family. Weekly was arrested in Jackson County and charged with Felonious Restraint, Armed Criminal Action, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. Exhibiting mental disturbances, Weekly was examined by Dr. James Sales, a psychiatrist at Fulton State Hospital. Dr. Sales diagnosed Weekly as having an Axis I condition of Vascular Dementia, with Delusions, and an Axis III diagnosis of Cerebral Vascular Accident.
