She was rushed to a hospital, at which point she was "one millimeter away from certain death," according to a criminal complaint.〔 The victim was hospitalized for six days and has since recovered and returned to school. ==Perpetrators== Both perpetrators were twelve years old at the time of the stabbing, as was the victim. All three were classmates, enrolled in the same middle school and had been at a sleepover at one suspect's home the night before. In December 2014, both girls were ruled competent to stand trial. The girls have been charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide. They have been set to be tried as adults because in Wisconsin, "all murder and attempted-murder charges for children older than 10 start in adult court."〔 Bail was set at $500,000 each. In February 2015, Anthony Cotton, an attorney for one of the two girls, filed a brief contending that his client should not have been charged with attempted first-degree homicide. According to the brief, the correct charge would be attempted murder second-degree because the girl believed Slender Man would have hurt her and her family if she hadn't killed on his behalf. In March 2015, the judge disagreed with this argument and ruled to keep the two in adult court. Their cases may still be moved to juvenile court for other reasons during hearings in May and June 2015. On August 10, a judge ruled that both teenagers will be tried in adult court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Slender Man' Stabbing: Teens to Be Tried in Adult Court )〕 On August 21, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren entered a "not guilty" plea on behalf of both girls after their attorneys declined to enter pleas. On September 30, 2015, Judge Bohren stayed the case against the two girls so that a state appeal court could determine whether they should be tried in adult or juvenile court. The decision is not expected to be made until January 2016 at the earliest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/09/30/appeals-court-to-decide-status-of-girls-accused-in-slender-man-stabbing/ )〕 A conviction on first-degree charges in adult court could result in a sentence of up to 65 years in state prison, whereas a conviction in juvenile court could send them "to a secure facility until age 25." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slender Man stabbing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
