Two girls from Wisconsin who are charged with attempting to kill a classmate to satisfy the fictional internet character Slender Man will face trial on October 15, a judge ruled Friday.
Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, who were 12 years old at the time of the crime, have both been charged as adults with attempted first-degree homicide.
The defense attorneys in the case are considering appealing the judge’s ruling that the case remain in adult court.
