Morgan Geyser, who attempted to murder her classmate Payton Leutner in 2014 to appease the character Slender Man, is set to be conditionally released from a Wisconsin mental health facility. Despite concerns raised by the state regarding Geyser's behavior, including her ties to a murder memorabilia collector, a judge granted her release. Geyser had previously been found not guilty due to mental illness, which underscores the challenges in the relationship between mental health and the law.
Geyser's relationship with a murder memorabilia collector and her interest in violent books raised concerns about her release, but a judge still approved her conditional freedom.
Geyser's case illustrates the complexities of mental illness and the legal standards for criminal responsibility, as she was found not guilty by reason of mental defect.
