Mr. Davis has a significant history of mental illness and multiple hospitalizations. He has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia Disorder, as defined by the DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), which manifests as auditory and visual hallucinations when he is not adhering to his prescribed medication regimen. Mr. Davis's paranoid hallucinations typically involve a delusional belief that uniformed assassins are pursuing him. At the time of his arrest, Mr. Davis was a homeless Muslim immigrant without access to his medication. He was convicted of trespassing for sleeping in a warehouse's delivery shed and was subsequently medicated while incarcerated. This conviction occurred before his current charges, for which he is on trial. Following a 45-day jail term and being placed on a treatment plan, Mr. Davis was released.
