Slender Man Stabbing – Court Hearings
In August 2014, one of the two girls was found incompetent to stand trial, but was ordered to take psychiatric treatment for the same. It was to be determined whether she could understand the attempted murder charges against her and if the trials should be conducted.
According to a psychologist, the girl showed strange behavior during a session in June. She believed in unicorns, Voldemort from “Harry Potter” and the Vulcan “mind meld” from “Star Trek” as well as laughed hysterically. The Waukesha County judge ruled that the Department of Health of the state will inspect the girl and decide whether she needs to be treated in outpatient care or admitted in a hospital.
The case of the second suspect, meanwhile, was set to move forward and the judge ruled in the hearings that the attorney of the second suspect is not allowed to access the medical reports of the first girl. If tried in adult court and found guilty, the accused may spend up to 60 years in prison.
In November 2014, it was testified by an expert that the 12-year-old is now competent to stand trial. The findings enabled a Waukesha County judge to state on whether the case should be allowed to continue.
In March 2015, Michael Bohren, Waukesha County Circuit judge ruled that the girls must stand trial as adults. After spending a month studying the evidence presented during the preliminary trial, the judge decided that the girls must be charged in adult court with attempted first-degree murder. Under Wisconsin law, in severe crimes, suspects over 10 years of age are charged as adults.
However, the defense team states that the girl still lacks the mental capacity to comprehend the charges against her and speak in her own defense. The lawyers of the accused want the case transferred to juvenile court.
12-year-old Payton Leutner was stabbed 19 times by her two friends narrowly escaping death.
