COMPETENCY – R.C. 2945.38 – INVOLUNTARY MEDICATION – JURISDICTION: The trial court's order authorizing the involuntary administration of medication to defendant to restore his competency was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the trial court's findings in support of the order were supported by some competent, credible evidence. Pursuant to R.C. 2945.38(B)(1)(c), the trial court had jurisdiction to consider a petition for the involuntary administration of medication filed by defendant's treating psychiatrist at the facility to which defendant was committed.
