Morgan Geyser Released from Psychiatric Hospital

Morgan Geyser, now 22, is set to be released from a Wisconsin psychiatric facility after being convicted for the 2014 stabbing of her classmate Payton Leutner, an attack she and her accomplice Anissa Weier committed to 'please' the fictional character Slender Man. Geyser was sentenced to 40 years in a mental health institution but has shown significant progress, as confirmed by experts who testified that she no longer poses a threat to society. The judge ordered the state's Department of Health Services to create a plan for her supervised release in a group home. Leutner survived the attack, which left her with life-threatening injuries, and Geyser's actions were influenced by her mental health issues, which included a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Geyser had previously filed multiple petitions for release, with the latest being granted after demonstrating rehabilitation. The case has drawn widespread attention due to the nature of the crime and the mental health complexities involved.
