Judge Postpones Revocation Hearing for Morgan Geyser After Group Home Escape

Prosecutors are deferring to a sealed state health recommendation on whether she waits in jail or at a treatment hospital.

Overview

  • Online court records show the December 22 revocation hearing date was deleted and has not been rescheduled.
  • Defense attorney Tony Cotton asked the court to move Geyser from the Waukesha County Jail back to Winnebago Mental Health Institute.
  • The request also seeks a later hearing date, with the defense noting she faces no new criminal charges.
  • The district attorney’s office has taken no position on placement, citing a sealed recommendation from the state health department.
  • Geyser remains in the Waukesha County Jail after being found about 24 hours post-escape behind a gas station in suburban Chicago and returned to Wisconsin custody.
