The defendant has spent the last couple of years at the Colorado Mental Health Hospital in Pueblo, where he is being forcibly medicated after refusing to take anti-psychotic medications that doctors say treat schizophrenia. He has been traveling, including on Thursday, to Boulder for multiple court hearings over the past several years and prosecutors say even this week he refused to take his medications in jail while awaiting his hearings.
In jail, the deputies do not have the authority to forcibly medicate him.
Prosecutors want this detail disclosed to the jury and defense attorneys say his refusals are due to interactions with an existing heart medication he is taking and asked that his full medical record not be disclosed.
Defense attorneys also say they’re concerned about the admissibility of conversations Alissa had with Pontiakos, an FBI agent and another police officer inside the hospital because they say it wasn’t a fair interrogation. Dougherty said he wasn’t planning on playing those conversations to jurors unless he was rebutting an argument.
Boulder’s Chief Judge Ingrid Bakke will rule on the various motions ahead of Aug. 26, when jury selection is scheduled to start in this case in Boulder.
