The Wisconsin woman, who at age 12 conspired with a friend to brutally stab a classmate to please fictional horror character 'Slender Man,' is well enough to be released from a psychiatric hospital, a judge ruled Thursday. Morgan Geyser, 22, has spent nearly seven years inside the Winnebago Mental Health Institute and is now ready to be moved to a group home where her mental health will be continue to be monitored, according to Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren.
“Her compliance in the institution is remarkable, both with medication and with treatment, her lack of behavioral management problems in the institution, or lack of violence toward others in the institution and toward herself. Those are all those all bode well for her readiness for conditional release at this time,' she said. 'Certainly for Ms. Geyser, the longer she’s there at this point, I think the more challenging it’s going to be to reintegrate.
