WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin judge has suspended the case involving two 13-year-old girls accused of trying to kill a classmate while an appeals court decides whether to review the case’s placement in adult court. The two girls are charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County. Investigators allege they stabbed Payton Leutner 19 times in an effort to appease the online fictional character Slender Man. Defense attorneys have appealed Judge Michael Bohren’s decision to keep the girls in adult court, where convictions could carry longer incarceration. Bohren removed the girls’ October trial date from his calendar and delayed hearing pre-trial motions.
