She withdrew her first petition two months after filing it in 2022. Bohren denied her second request this past April, saying she remains a risk to the public.

The one-page petition doesn’t include any arguments for Geyser’s release. Instead, it cites state laws that require Bohren within 20 days to appoint at least one expert to examine her and produce a report within 30 days of being appointed. The petition also requests the judge schedule a hearing, noting that state law requires him to hold one within 30 days of receiving the examiner’s report.

    Mad respect for her. Either she is aware that she is unwell, and wants to receive proper treatment and atone for what she did, or she wants to garner support. But with zero context other than knowing what it is like, not being able to trust your own mind, I solemnity hope it is the first one, and hope she gets the help she deserves.
