A Wisconsin woman accused of stabbing her classmate in 2014 to please horror character Slender Man is asking a judge again to release her from a psychiatric hospital.
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.
The one-page petition doesn’t include any arguments for Geyser’s release. Instead, it cites state laws that require Bohren within 20 days to appoint at least one expert to examine her and produce a report within 30 days of being appointed. The petition also requests the judge schedule a hearing, noting that state law requires him to hold one within 30 days of receiving the examiner’s report.
The girls later told investigators they wanted to earn the right to be servants of the fictional Slender Man and that they feared he would harm their families if they didn’t carry out the attack.
If they truly believed this and it wasn’t a ploy to stay out of jail, holy shit.
Mad respect for her. Either she is aware that she is unwell, and wants to receive proper treatment and atone for what she did, or she wants to garner support. But with zero context other than knowing what it is like, not being able to trust your own mind, I solemnity hope it is the first one, and hope she gets the help she deserves.
Mad respect for an insane person, who might have struggled with undiagnosed schizophrenia, committed an atrocious act, and is using her chance at an early release to, instead of requesting one, seek a proper diagnosis and medical help, NOT an early release.
You can read up on her mental state, history with schizophrenia, hallucinations and psychosis. I maintain what I said, poor girl, she was failed by the medical system.
Her victim was an innocent girl, who did not deserve what happened to her, and it is too late to save her, but no reason to deny help to another one clearly needing it.
