Slender Man verdict — Anissa Weier

Jury: Wisconsin girl mentally ill in stabbing of classmate

I had not known that both girls were pleading insanity.  I had expected the one with short, dark hair and facial moles to be the leader, but she’s not.  This is Anissa Weier.  Morgan Geyser is the one with long, blonde hair and clear skin.  The Wikipedia article doesn’t name any of the girls, but from that and an 08/01/14 People article I know that Morgan is the one who’s clearly nuts.  Her father is schizophrenic also; she also has Oppositional-Defiant Disorder and at times has refused to take her meds.
