A Wisconsin judge rules one of the 12-year-old girls in the Slenderman stabbing case is mentally incompetent and can't stand trial.

A Wisconsin judge ruled Friday (August 1) one of the 12-year-old girls in the Slenderman stabbing case is mentally incompetent and can't stand trial.

A doctor testified today the girl hears and sees fictional beings, including unicorns, Voldemort, a character in the Harry Potter series, and Slenderman, an online horror character. The judge ordered that the 12-year-old girl in question receive treatment and be restored to competency in a year.

According to court documents, in May two 12-year-old girls plotted to kill their friend to gain favor with Slenderman. The girls lured their friend, another 12 year old, into a wooded area, and stabbed her 19 times.

The two girls have been charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide.

The wounded girl, who was found alive on a sidewalk and taken to a nearby hospital, has since been released.
