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.
It was slightly facetious. First: I don’t believe in the concept of evil, it’s a reductivist view of human behavior. The point is that people with personality disorders are usually born with them. To say “oh but they were young” somehow misses the fact that nearly no people at that age try to kill people for fictional figures.
