I can find nowhere in the link that Steve put up which says anything about her readmission being due to that she's stopped taking her meds. It may however be in another statement. He also in sn't entirely conclusive that her lack of interest in the children was due to the drugs being reduced but could in fact be due to her overall mental state.
I was quoting from all his statements combined. Reading just one does not good unless your goal is to cherrypick.
She wasn't on Haldol prior to her readmission and an attempt was made to put her back on her prior low-dose medicine but didn't work out. Upon admission she was elevated to Haldol injections so she wouldn't miss it and he felt the potency would keep her. He didn't understand the true potentcy of Haldol so gave her way too much but that can be said of many doctors at the time. She was a problem so dump her on something real strong and he felt that would be good. Subsequent studies confirmed what other doctors thought about it. He was wrong that the only side effect was muscle stiffening and wrong that only if overdosed do you have the motor skill problems she had. He could defend it saying his idea of an overdose is different from the definition I would be using but that is exactly why you question people to get them to clarify. When people have different definitions of different concepts...
If Sheila lived they eventually would have changed her to a different medicine because Haldol interferes with ordinary life a great deal but who knows how long before they finally faced it. In the 1980s it was more acceptable to not give a crap about their comfort and dump crazy people on sedatives. Today we are more interested in trying to help them live normal lives but it really depends on the doctor. Ironically the same mentality went to treating kids and that still has not abated. An alarming number of kids are being dumped on drugs and it is harming them greatly. There are some doctors sounding the alarm at such.
For our purposes what matters is that after being placed on Haldol she had no delusions or relapses that anyone was aware of. She was on 100MG for 3 weeks without any issues. The idea that 3 weeks after her reduction at 3AM her medication stopped working suddenly and for the first time she became violent towards others would be hard to swallow even if there was some evidence to suggest maybe she could have been involved. But with all the evidence that says she wasn't and that Jeremy did it the case was a slam dunk for the prosecution.
The same reason his was such a hard case for the defense is why it is hard for Jeremy supporters to come up with anything. His most die hard supporters are willing to make things up to try to make it seem like their position is solid instead of admitting it is blind faith but there are some who admit they operate on blind faith largely.
I think most of the debates have run their course and for the most part we see Adam and his polar opposites trying to convince the other side to change teams though neither has any real hope of success.
