Wisconsin woman who at 12 nearly killed girl won't be released yet from psychiatric hospital

A judge has turned down a request to release a Wisconsin woman from a psychiatric hospital, a decade after she nearly killed a girl at age 12. Morgan Geyser is now 21 and no longer takes antipsychotic medicine. She and another girl confessed quickly after the stabbing in 2014, saying they attacked a friend to please the online horror character Slender Man. Judge Michael Bohren says Geyser has a credibility problem after lately reporting that she attacked the girl for a reason other than Slender Man. Geyser’s attorney says he can file another petition for release in six months. Geyser's accomplice was released from the hospital in 2021.
