GUILTY WI - 12-Year-Old Girls Stab Friend 19 Times for Slenderman, Waukesha, 31 May 2014 #2

[Rayemonde]

“I was shocked to learn 12-year-olds could be charged as adults," she told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. “Some of the comments on stories say: ‘Adult crime, adult time.’ That's B.S. These are children.”...

For now, Morgan is locked up in a mental health hospital, where she was placed after she tried to slash her arm with a broken pencil last month. The medical team put her on a week-long suicide watch...

Geyer said she had no idea her daughter was mentally ill until after the chilling crime. While Morgan’s dad has a history of schizophrenia, the girl never showed signs of inheriting the condition...

Geyer said her daughter was “floridly psychotic,” for months after the attest, talking to hallucinations and playing with ants in jail. She’s improved dramatically with the help of the right medications.

Is there any news on the other girl accused? Has she also been proven to be mentally ill? I don't seem to ever read much about her. TIA.

Appeals Court Rules 'Slender Man' Stabbing Suspects Can Be Tried as Adults



News is withholding the identity of the girls because of their ages. They were both age 12 in May 2014 when prosecutors say they lured a third friend into the woods of the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha the morning after a birthday sleepover. The suspects stabbed her 19 times with a knife, just missing an artery near her heart.

The victim was left to die, but managed to crawl away to safety. The girls later told police they wanted to kill their classmate as a way to appease Slender Man, a faceless meme on the internet.

Girls to Be Tried As Adults in Slender Man Stabbing

Two Wisconsin girls charged with attempting to kill their friend for Slender Man, a terrifying internet character, should be tried as adults, a state appeals court ruled Wednesday. If convicted as adults for the May 2014 attack, Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, who are both now 14, could go to prison for up to 65 years.

Two girls accused of attempting to murder a classmate to please a fictional horror character named Slenderman will be tried as adults, a Wisconsin state appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The decision was based on the court’s belief that Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, who were 12 at the time of the 2014 attack, would not receive long-term mental health treatment if convicted and sentenced in a juvenile court, according to a copy of the decision.

Wis. Girl In ‘Slender Man’ Stabbing To Plead Insanity

http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/08/19/slenderman-insanity/

 

[MsJosie]

Is Morgan Geyser, the girl that wanted bail and to live with her grandfather? Also she does not think she is sick snd refuses to take her medication?

How does anyone prove she is sane or insane? Asking to live with a relative tells me there is some sanity there. Then refusing her medication....its like she is playing games. The doctors are really well trained to figure any of this out.

Can she be forced to take her medication?

Thanks

The second of two young Wisconsin girls accused of trying to kill a classmate to please horror character Slender Man entered Friday a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to an attempted homicide charge.

Anissa Weier changed her previous not-guilty plea during a 15-minute proceeding in Waukesha County Circuit Court. Judge Michael Bohren appointed two doctors to examine the girl, who sat silently during the proceedings. The judge ordered the doctors to turn in a report on her mental status by Oct. 6.

Slender Man case attorneys file motions to have girls' trials separated

Slender Man defense questions insanity law
Bruce Vielmetti , Milwaukee Journal Sentinel , 7:21 p.m. CDT October 11, 2016

If Weier is to be tried as an adult, the defense argues, her undeveloped brain functioning should be considered abnormal, even though for a child it would be normal.

Holding Weier to normal child brain standards for assessing an insanity defense and yet prosecuting her as an adult is like the state having it both ways, and would violate Weier's rights to due process, her lawyers argue.

Reports from psychologists appointed to evaluate the girls, now 14, aren't due to the court until next month.

Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren has scheduled a hearing on motions for Nov. 11.

Judge seals experts' reports on Slender Man defendants
Bruce Vielmetti , Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 10:55 p.m. CST November 11, 2016

Waukesha — Trials in the Slender Man stabbing case now appear to have moved back to next summer, at the earliest.

Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren also acknowledged receipt of reports from four psychologists about whether defendants Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier have any basis for the insanity pleas they entered in August and September. Two more such reports are due in December . . . Bohren sealed all the reports . . .

Bohren set evidentiary hearings in December on defense motions to suppress statements the girls made after their arrests and February dates to hear arguments and then rule on those motions and on defense motions to try the girls separately before juries are picked from outside Waukesha County.

'A judge has ordered separate trials for two Wisconsin girls accused of trying to kill a classmate to please a fictional horror character called Slender Man.

Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren announced his ruling Monday. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/2hglPLV*) reports Bohren ordered separate trials for 14-year-old Morgan Geyser and 15-year-old Anissa Weier after learning both defense teams and prosecutors agreed that a joint trial could pose legal risks.'

I think separate trials are a good thing. Now how long to trial?
