A potentially dangerous precedent is set.

I wonder if this could be applied to schools forcing kids to take Riddlin.

If a defendant were genuinely psychotic, such that treatment was required to allow a minimum competence required to be represented by counsel, then why is that person standing trial instead of being confined in a mental hospital? On other hand, if that psychotic person were left in a total state of incoherence, he would lose total control over his fate, and the entire matter would be essentially left in the hands of a court appointed lawyer, who will call all the shots while his client raves in the background.
