Overview
- Geyser’s attorney, Anthony Cotton, filed the petition in Waukesha County on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, asking the court to set a hearing and grant conditional release.
- Geyser is held at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute after a judge revoked her 2025 conditional release following her removal of a GPS ankle monitor and an escape from a Madison group home.
- The petition requires the court to appoint one or more examiners to evaluate Geyser, who must file a report within 30 days and then gives the court 30 days to hold a hearing after that report is filed.
- Court records show no hearing has been scheduled yet, so Geyser’s custody status will not change until the examinations and the statutorily timed reports are completed and the court acts.
- The case traces to the 2014 stabbing of classmate Payton Leutner, who was nearly killed, and the 2015–2026 proceedings have balanced long-term psychiatric treatment, supervised community placements, and public-safety concerns after supervision failures.
