Judge approves early release for teen in ‘Slender Man’ stabbing

One of the two Wisconsin girls convicted in the 2014 “Slender Man” stabbing will be released early from a state mental hospital, a judge ruled on Thursday.

Anissa Weier, 19, filed a petition for conditional release in March, arguing that she’s no longer a threat to anyone after being institutionalized for the last three and a half years.

Weier was sentenced to 25 years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in 2017, after she pleaded guilty to being a party to the attempted murder of her sixth-grade classmate.

Waukesha County Judge Michael Bohren on Thursday agreed to Weier’s petition, but did not allow her to go free immediately.

The judge gave state officials 60 days to draw up a conditional release plan and sent Weier back to the mental hospital pending another hearing on Sept. 10.

State Department of Health Services case managers will also be assigned to Weier to track her progress until she turns 37.

In May 2014, Weier and friend Morgan Geyser lured classmate Payton Leutner into the woods in a park of the Milwaukee suburb following a sleepover.

There, Geyser stabbed Leutner a total of 19 times while Weier egged her on, according to investigators.

Though she was left for dead, Leutner survived and managed to crawl out of the woods to a path where a passing bicyclist found her and helped her.

Geyser and Weier plotted the vicious attack for more than five months — later telling investigators “it was necessary” to please the fictional boogeyman Slender Man.

Well, here in Georgia’s Fulton county black men frequently serve 3 years for their murders. Let out early to do it again.

I wonder if she’s going to move back with her family?
The family would be wise to set this Gal up with her own place. I could never trust her under the same roof.

She may even want to consider changing her name.
I recall that bizarre stabbing quite vividly.
There was a lot of talk about Slenderman back then, how young people seemed morbidly fascinated.

I’m not one to see a demon behind every bush, but looking at the particulars of the crime and at those girls faces even now, I see demonic influence all over this one. I think deliverance prayer or even exorcism may be in order before even thinking about letting them run free.

I agree. I hate to think that about anyone, that their soul is in such deep and dangerous trouble, but sometimes, all the pieces fit together for this conclusion.

I will pray for the three girls involved.
The victim and her stabbers; my guess is all three have had their families permanently shaken up by this.

I don’t want to judge but judge I will. That girl looks like she will do it all again without remorse.

We-e-e-ell, it’s not as though she did the actual stabbing - let her out but only if she lives at the judge’s house.

Nope. She doesn’t look like she’ll kill again. No sir.

12 YO at the time...

Not everyone starts off with an adequate moral compass, but one’s direction can definitely improve. I have reservations about this one however. The victim and her family should have a say.

Didn’t Jeffrey Dahner start off at a young age? Behaviour like both girls did is not a moral choice at that age. People trying murder at a young age to impress a fictional character will most likely get worse.

Judge should be held responsible for any crime committed by parolee. Then we would see how confident judge is about the child not being a risk.

I believe there were early signs of him torturing and killing animals.

Again, again, and again. Anyone who lets her near them is a fool. And before long will be a dead fool.

my god women get such pussy passes for the most egregious evil things they’d lock a guy up with forever

this is such gross iniquity

if a boy or man did what she did no one would grant warlt release

she is incredibly evil and a rotten human being

but because vagina and crying she gets out

how about holding the criminals responsoble?

letting her out early is rewarding her for doing this.

and again, a boy would not be released early for this.
