In re Interest of M.S.

Summary

The court affirmed M.S.’s mental health commitment and forced-medication order. It held that statutory confrontation rights do not extend to a pretrial continuance hearing, that the challenged family statements were admissible under the medical-purpose hearsay exception, and that any error concerning psychological-testing results was harmless. The court also concluded that clear and convincing evidence supported the diagnosis, dangerousness finding, and least-restrictive treatment plan.
