Fans of true crime will recognize these features in seemingly unrelated fields. I also enjoy contemplating the darker things in life so it seems natural for me to have gravitated to these two things. I am sure there will be others who also like both subjects but, if not, this site has been structured so that they are kept quite separate.

For the past two years, a panel of state psychiatrists and psychologists have determined that notorious killer Nikko Jenkins needs to be forcibly medicated to treat a mental illness.

And Jenkins’ attorney has noted what he calls the irony: Prison officials are pumping him full of psychotropic drugs to try to keep him mentally competent enough to pump him full of drugs to execute him, via the state’s lethal injection protocol.

Now, Douglas County Public Defender Tom Riley is pointing to the forced-injection treatments of Jenkins as a reason that his execution should be stayed.

Riley filed a motion last week in Douglas County District Court for a stay of execution. In it, he pointed out that a panel of prison experts has unanimously voted four times over the past 28 months that Jenkins should get forced psychotropic medications to treat a mental illness.

Riley pointed to a Nebraska law that says: “If a defendant is sentenced to death and, after judgment, but before execution of the sentence, such person becomes mentally incompetent, execution of the sentence shall be stayed until such disability is removed.”

That doesn’t mean Jenkins should receive a stay, Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said.
