Judge Denies Petition to Revoke Morgan Geyser's Conditional Release

Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren denied a petition to revoke Morgan Geyser's conditional release from a mental health facility, ruling that there was no evidence she posed a threat to herself or others. Geyser, who was found not guilty by reason of mental defect for her role in the 2014 Slender Man stabbing, will continue her transition plan into the community, likely starting in a group home. The state had raised concerns about her reading materials and contact with individuals related to true crime, but medical experts maintained that these issues did not warrant revocation of her release. Geyser's attorney argued that the petition was unjustified and emphasized the controlled environment of her treatment. The judge's decision allows Geyser to move forward with her rehabilitation, with her treatment team set to finalize her community integration plan. Her next review hearing is scheduled for March 21.
