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.

    A twelve year old who stabs another twelve year old 19 times is outside of normal.

    I’d be fine with executing anyone who does that, at any age, unless it’s in self defense.

      I agree, it is not normal.

      You must American, most of the civilized world would show compassion and try to help the preteen.

      […] at any age,[…]

      You would be fine with executing a 5yo who had a temper tantrum and stabbed their friend? You’d probably have to do it yourself, would you still be fine with it then? How would you like to do it? With a gun, or would you poison the 5yo?

      […] unless it’s in self defense.

      OK, you’re definitely American, nobody but Americans have this distorted an idea of self-defense. Stabbing someone 19 times is never self-defense.

      If you don’t mind me asking, do you consider yourself a religious person? If yes, what faith?
