Criminal Lawyers in St. Paul say 2 Twelve Year Old girls tried to Kill another 12 year old

Two twelve-year-old girls stabbed their friend 19 times in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The girls lured the victim, also 12, to the forest. The victim crawled to the road and was found by a bicyclist. The bicyclist then called 911. The girls had been working on their plan for months. Their motive for the stabbing was to please Slender Man, an online fictional evil character. The girls believed Slenderman was real and wanted to become his proxies. They wanted to prove their dedication to him by killing their friend. They had planned to cover her mouth with duck tape, stab her, and pull her covers over her during a sleepover. They later came up with a new plan to attack her while playing hide and go seek in the woods. The girls stabbed her in the woods while the victim yelled out “I hate you! I trusted you!” The girls fled after they told the victim that they would go get help. The two girls thought that she would die and that they would see Slenderman.

Once caught, Morgan Geyser said that it seemed necessary to kill her and that she did not feel any remorse. Geyser and Weier were charged as adults for attempted first-degree murder intentional homicide. Both girls have now been found to be unfit for trial. Geyser told police that she heard voices in her head and believed that she could talk to Slenderman.

What to Do If You Have Been Charged with a Criminal Offense

Can You Be Charged With a Drug Crime Based on Text Messages Alone?

You can be charged with a drug crime based on text messages alone in Minnesota, especially when the messages show intent to purchase, sell, distribute, or traffic drugs. Prosecutors often use text messages to demonstrate intent to commit a drug crime, show a history of drug activity, link you to a specific phone, and corroborate physical evidence. Text messages often strengthen the probable cause required for the police to arrest and charge you. They are, however, not sufficient for a conviction without compelling supporting physical evidence.

Can the Police Lie to You During an Interrogation in Minnesota?

Criminal defendants who interact with police officers for the first time are often left wondering, “Can the police lie to you during an interrogation?” Police officers can lie to you during an interrogation. In fact, deception is a lawful and fully permitted police technique provided the officers do not use it to force a confession. Police often claim possession of non-existent evidence or witnesses to trick you into disclosing information that can aid their investigation.
