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.

No, I want to understand without anyone getting emotional or making it personal precisely what they think the problem is. All I get from people is a vague reference to age and the passage of time.
The point of a system like this is to in theory rehabilitate people so that one day they can return to society.
The system is failing here to do that despite several professionals in their field saying she is capable of returning to the community.

It’s easy to vilify someone when you make up and attribute things to them that they didn’t say. Not sure how making this personal helps, but it sure does say something about you.
It’s easy to villify someone when they…
*Checks notes*
…want to imprison another person for life who has not been convicted of any crime.
So you see how it’s bad to put straw men in people’s mouth because of a situation they have nothing to do with.
