One of the women involved in the Slender Man stabbing will soon appear before the Waukesha County Circuit Court judge who sentenced her to 25 years in a state mental facility to request her release.
Anissa Weier, now 19 years old, has spent the last 3½ years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute after a jury found her not criminally responsible due to a mental disease in the stabbing that nearly killed a classmate in a sensationalized crime that gained worldwide coverage.
