Overview
- Geyser’s attorney filed the new conditional-release petition on Aug. 25, 2026, which formally starts the court process to appoint examiners to evaluate her mental state.
- The petition requests that one or more court-appointed examiners prepare a report within 30 days of appointment and that the court hold a hearing within 30 days after that report is filed.
- Geyser remains confined at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute after a Waukesha County judge revoked her 2025 conditional release following her November 2025 removal of a GPS ankle monitor and flight from a Madison group home.
- Her lawyer says the filing is meant to obtain medical conclusions and that the defense may amend or withdraw the petition based on those findings, while Geyser retains the statutory right to petition every six months.
- Key next steps to watch are the appointment of examiners, the issuance of their report, and whether state health officials move to oppose release again on public-safety grounds and through revocation motions if conditions change.
