Dr. Martin did have RA sign a consent form on Jan 24, 2024 for the IDOC to administer his meds.
The next time he saw RA in person was April 13th (After discovery and his family refusing to talk to him) when he was covered in feces and brown liquid coming from his mouth, like he might have been consuming said feces. He felt RA was in a psychotic state at that point and conferred with other Doctors and Medical Personnel who all agreed a low dose of Haldol was appropriate for that behavior at the time. It's an antipsychotic, meaning it doesn't induce psychosis, it treats psychosis. That was when the calls to Wife and Mom appear much more coherent and RA more calm IMO.

It's good to hear the whole story of how RA was given Haldol, a low dose on a few occasions when he was harmful to himself and others. RA did become violent and beat his head against the bars and walls, threatening the guards. They (IDOC staff) regularly met with concerns about how best to detain RA. He couldn't be in Gen Pop for RA's own safety from other inmates, he needed more supervision because of self harm threats.
Even in his move to Cass County Jail hasn't prevented RA's volatile behavior and threats and I think the D should be grateful that Judge Gull did not allow the State to bring that into evidence.
