The Slender Man stabber who nearly killed a classmate when she was 12-years-old is is too dangerous to be released from a mental hospital, a court has heard.
Morgan Geyser, now 21, has requested to leave Winnebago Mental Health Institute on conditional release, 10 years after she was ordered to spend 40 years there over the 2014 stabbing of Payton Leutner, who was also 12 at the time.
But on Wednesday, two psychologists said doing so would be a bad idea, with one branding the would-be killer’s behavior as ‘callous’.
‘It’s my opinion to a reasonable degree of professional certainty that she currently presents a significant risk of bodily harm to herself or others if conditionally released,’ Dr. Deborah Collins said.
Another psychologist, Dr. Brooke Lundbohm told the court: ‘That would be rather remarkable. That would be very callous as well,’ of Geyser’s claims that she’d previously faked psychosis symptoms
Geyster appeared in court Thursday handcuffed, with her head partly-shaved and a haunted-expression on her face. She wore a tweed dress and black pantyhose.
