udge to rule whether Slender Man suspects should be tried as juveniles
By Jonah Kaplan and Michele Fiore.
WAUKESHA -- The two girls accused in the Slender Man stabbing will make another court appearance Friday afternoon.
A judge will determine if there is enough evidence to try Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier as adults for attempted first-degree intentional homicide. If not, the case will move to juvenile court.
In a previous court appearance, a judge ordered that both girls were competent to stand trial.
Geyser and Weier are accused of stabbing a classmate 19 times in May 2014. The girls told investigators the attack was to please the fictional character named Slender Man.
Both girls had a two-day preliminary hearing on February 16 and 17 where investigators said they found mutilated barbie dolls and distributing drawings in one of the girls' bedrooms
The proceedings will begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Waukesha County Courthouse.
