The state’s Psychiatric Review Board denied his request, citing ongoing danger and need for high-level confinement — a decision now under legal appeal. Morgan’s defense argues the board misapplied the law and wrongly used his refusal of meds — protected by an advance directive — as justification. Crucially, they point out he’s never been restrained or physically aggressive during confinement. His team is demanding the court overturn his confinement and grant him conditional freedom.
