The findings of a competency exam for Anissa E. Weier, one of the 12-year-old suspects charged with nearly stabbing a Waukesha classmate to death, will be revealed on Wednesday in court.
Judge Michael Bohren ordered last month that Weier undergo a court-ordered competency evaluation that would determine whether the case continues or is suspended.
According to online court records, Robert Rawski, a psychiatrist with the Wisconsin Forensic Unit, evaluated Weier and was preparing a competency report for the court.
If Weier's competency hearing is similar to Morgan Geyser's (the other suspect in the case), Rawski will be called to the stand and give a report on his interactions with Weier and answer questions from both the prosecutors and defense.
Rawski will give his recommendation on whether Weier, who has been confined to the secure Washington County Juvenile Detention Center in West Bend since being charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, is competent to stand trial.
Bohren will then rule whether he agrees with the professional findings of the medical expert.
Weier's competency hearing begins at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22, at the Waukesha County Courthouse.
Competency is largely based on whether the defendant can assist in his/her own defense.
Bohren found that Morgan Geyser, the other 12-year-old suspect in the case, was not competent to continue at a hearing in early August.
Geyser and Weier, who have been charged as adults, told police that in order to prove themselves "worthy" of Slender Man, a fantasy Internet horror character that the two learned about through the Creepypasta Wiki website, they would kill their friend.
The criminal complaint said they also told police that they planned on living with Slender Man in his mansion, which they believed was in a forest in northern Wisconsin.
According to police, Geyser and Weier plotted for months to kill their 12-year-old friend and Horning Middle School classmate and stabbed her 19 times on May 31 in a wooded area in Waukesha.
Geyser has up to one year to become competent.
The two psychiatrists who evaluated her said they believed that Geyser would likely become competent after growing and developing, more education on the court proceedings and treatment for an undiagnosed mental disorder.
During their testimonies in August, the psychiatrists said Geyser "idolizes" Slender Man and still strongly believes that Slender Man is real.
One medical expert said Geyser told her she communicates telepathically with fictional characters such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and has the ability to see unicorns and can speak to the Harry Potter villain, Lord Voldemort.
The psychiatrists added Geyser doesn't understand the severity of the situation she is in.
Geyser has been transferred to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh.
The victim's identity had been kept private as she recovered throughout the summer. However, she was identified as Payton Leutner during an exclusive interview with ABC's David Muir last month.
The telecast, which also included testimonies from Leutner's parents, the bicyclist who found the victim after she was stabbed and her surgeon, aired on the 20/20 news program.
