A judge could decide to charge Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier as juveniles or as adults.
Currently, two girls have been charged as adults with first-degree attempted homicide and are being held at a juvenile detention center on $500,000 cash bond, after they stabbed a classmate. The girls face up to 65 years in prison if convicted.
The victim, who was stabbed 19 times by two girls who were supposedly her friends, is on the mend. The young female offenders left her near dead near a wooded area Saturday morning, May 31, 2014. A bicyclist found the victim gasping for breath, and called 9-1-1. The two 12-year-old female offenders have been identified as Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier. The girls explained to police that they needed to impress a ghoulish character named Slenderman, who is the leader of a web site called creepypasta. In order to please Slenderman, a follower had to kill a person. More details on CNN …
