WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin girl who repeatedly stabbed a classmate to impress the fictional horror character Slender Man has written a “very powerful letter” of apology to the victim and hopes it can be delivered to her one day. Anthony Cotton, an attorney for 15-year-old Morgan Geyser, says she is remorseful for the 2014 attack and wrote the letter without prompting from anyone. Geyser pleaded guilty to the stabbing Thursday in an agreement with prosecutors to avoid prison time. She and another girl, Anissa Weier, admitted to carrying out the attack in a Milwaukee-area park. The classmate survived. Geyser sobbed in court during the plea hearing as she recalled the stabbing under questioning from the judge. Doctors will evaluate Geyser’s mental health by Nov. 13 and the judge will later determine how long she should be committed.
