Dr. Robbins told the court that even though Geyser was diagnosed with schizophrenia after the stabbing, she hadn’t exhibited symptoms in two years and had successfully been weaned from antipsychotic medications, according to ABC News. She did, however, live with conditions consistent with P.T.S.D. and autism.

Despite a 2021 suicide attempt while in treatment, psychologist Brooke Lundbohm agreed that she did not think Geyser posed a threat to herself or others. In fact, Lundbohm stated, Geyser was “well-spoken” and “incredibly bright.”

Robbins added that Geyser had “a lot of potential,” per ABC News.

A third expert, forensic phycologist Dr. Deborah Collins, called Geyser’s progress “remarkable,” NBC News reported. She noted a lack of disciplinary concerns and violence while in the facility as to why Geyser would “bode well” in society.

“Certainly for Ms. Geyser, the longer she’s there at this point, I think the more challenging it’s going to be to reintegrate,” Collins said.

Even Judge Bohren commended Geyser for her “good attitude” and exceptional compliance.

Geyser had been housed at the Winnebago facility since she was 15, according to The New York Times, and sought release on several occasions over the years, including in June 2022. However, she withdrew several of those bids and was denied release by Judge Bohren last year.

At Thursday’s hearing, prosecutor Ted Szczupakiewicz challenged Geyser’s prospect of freedom, as reported by ABC Milwaukee affiliate WISN-TV.

“It’s the state’s position that this offense alone is enough to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that there’s a substantial risk here to others and to herself,” he said.

As part of her conditional release, Geyser will be required to wear an ankle monitor, per ABC News. Per the Milwaukee outlet, The Wisconsin Department of Health Services will have 60 days to iron out a complete release plan, which could comprise residency at a halfway house.

Geyser will remain under state mental health supervision until 2058, according to WISN-TV.
