Slender Man stabbing: Morgan Geyser's release questioned | Banfield

Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos joins NewsNation to weigh in on the shocking case of Morgan Geyser, the now-22-year-old at the center of the infamous “Slender Man” stabbing. Geyser, who has spent nearly a decade in a mental health facility after stabbing a friend 19 times at age 12, is now being considered for transfer to a halfway house. But concerns about her behavior behind bars — including a troubling relationship with a murder-memorabilia collector and reading violent crime novels — have raised questions. Adding to the controversy, the proposed group home is just eight miles from the victim’s house, prompting outrage from the victim’s family and concern from the judge.
