Court records say that the state requested “the maximum amount of institutional care of 25 years and that Ms. Court orders placement as Institutional Care.” Both the State and Defense stipulate to the institutional care.

Amici urge this Court to clarify the appropriate standards for assessing whether a twelve year old can knowingly and intelligently waive her Miranda rights.” The juvenile centers wrote that the “lower court’s ruling that Morgan Geyser, a 12 year old child suffering from hallucinations at the time she spoke to police, voluntarily, intelligently, and knowingly waived her Miranda rights failed to appropriately account for her young age. In 2009, the Juvenile Law Center, Center for Juvenile Law & Policy and Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth filed a brief with Wisconsin appellate courts arguing on Geyser’s behalf. See Weier’s Wisconsin court record page here, and Geyser’s here. The case is listed as awaiting for decision.
