A judge said both Wisconsin teens are mentally competent to stand trial in grisly Slenderman stabbings.
Anissa Weier and Morgan Geysger were ruled competent by a judge to stand trial in the ghastly Slenderman attack, in which they’re accused of stabbing a pal 19 times to pay homage to a fictional character popularized online.
A shackled Weier, 13, told Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren, “I consider myself incompetent, sir.”
Weier was cleared to stand trial after being examined by three doctors (two for the defense, one for the prosecution) who testified about her competency.
The prosecution’s doctor said Weier was competent, while doctors for the defense said she wasn’t.
Ultimately, Judge Bohren said he was “satisfied that the issues of age and maturity do not override her competency,” and that Weier was “competent to make the decisions that have to be made.”
