A Wisconsin woman accused of stabbing her classmate to please horror character Slender Man more than a decade ago asked a judge again Friday to release her from a psychiatric hospital.
Morgan Geyser, who is now 22 years old, filed a petition with Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren seeking her release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. The petition marks the third time in the last two years she has asked Bohren to let her out of the facility.
She withdrew her first petition two months after filing it in 2022. Bohren denied her second request this past April, saying she remains a risk to the public.
She was found not guilty. Why do you want to punish the innocent?
Not guilty is not the same as innocent. She was not guilty due to insanity but she still committed the act.
She was found not guilty because she was twelve. Not because she didn’t attempt to murder that person.
