Morgan Geyser’s Lawyer Seeks Hospital Transfer With Revocation Hearing Set

A Dec. 22 court date will consider rescinding her conditional release.

Overview

  • Geyser remains in the Waukesha County Jail after she was found at an Illinois truck stop and extradited following her departure from a Madison group home.
  • Attorney Anthony Cotton asked Judge K. Scott Wagner to move her to the Winnebago Mental Health Institute, arguing she should be held in a treatment setting rather than jail.
  • Wisconsin health officials have sought to revoke her conditional release, with a hearing scheduled for Dec. 22 to determine whether she returns to long-term inpatient care.
  • Dane County prosecutors have not said whether they will bring new charges tied to the removal of her GPS monitor and leaving supervision.
  • Madison police say they were notified nearly 12 hours after she left; the Department of Corrections logged an alert, contacted the group home, and issued an apprehension request just after midnight.
