During opening statements, the defense said JH is currently taking Haldol and has been taking it since his first psych evaluation. They said this might make him appear dazed at times.
For those not familiar with the medication...
Haldol is an antipsychotic drug primarily prescribed to treat patients with schizophrenia. It can also be used to treat Turrets Syndrome, facial and/or verbal tics, certain types of seizures, and manic episodes in patients with Bipolar Disorder. It can also be used to calm patients exhibiting severely agitated or aggressive behavior. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.
