Crime Stories with Nancy Grace: 12-year-old Mastermind Convicted for Stabbing, Leaving Bestie for Dead to Be Released
Description
Two girls stab their best friend 19 times. Why? They wanted to appease the fictional horror character, Slender Man. Both girls serve time in a mental health facility.
Anissa Weier was granted conditional release in September 2021. She was required to receive outpatient psychiatric treatment and was subject to GPS monitoring – though the monitoring was waived in September of last year.
Now a Wisconsin judge decides Morgan Geyser is well enough to be released from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute she has been in for the last seven years. She will be moved to a group home where her mental health will be continue to be monitored. Three medical experts testified that Geyser has made considerable progress, which convinced a judge that she doesn't pose a safety risk outside hospital walls.
