One of two Wisconsin girls accused of stabbing their friend so they could meet the fictional character "Slender Man" simply shrugged today before a judge ruled that she was incompetent to stand trial.
Morgan Geyser had been found not competent by two prior evaluations and today was found incompetent to stand trial by a judge. Geyser and Anissa Weier, both 12, are charged with first degree attempted murder after prosecutors said they lured their friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times.
Geyser was seen fidgeting in her seat and playing with her hair during the hearing, even pulling a blond strand directly in front of her face at one point. She smiled while watching Weier being led out of the room.
Two mental health professionals gave testimony in the Waukesha County Courthouse today, speaking about their evaluations of Geyser before Judge Michael Bohren ruled that she is unfit to stand trial.
Dr. Brooke Lundbohm, who evaluated Geyser on June 18, 2014, said that Geyser's unusual behavior- including what she said was nonsensical rambling and inappropriate, near-hysterical laughter - contributed to her decision that Geyser is incompetent.
Lundbohm said that Geyser spoke with her at length about fictional characters she believes in including unicorns, Slender Man, and Harry Potter villain Voldemort, who Geyser reportedly called "Voldy." She added that Geyser claims that she has Vulcan Mind Control.
I'm not trying to sensationalize this case in any way. What these two girls did is horrific, unthinkable. I just wanted to state the latest facts and say that I support the survivor, Payton. I agree that she is a brave, strong girl.
I also want to say that even though I'm a CreepyPasta fanatic, I do not believe in Slender Man or believe that this kind of real violence is cool. He's fictional. Murder in real life is scary and taking someone's life or attempting to take someone's life is wrong.
If you do somehow believe in him, why would you kill for something so evil?
Also, if you're having mental issues, tell someone. Don't keep it a secret.
