While Geyser pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree intentional homicide, Weier pleaded guilty in August 2017 to attempted second-degree homicide by reason of mental disease or defect, and was sentenced to at least three years and up to 25 years in a mental health facility. The young woman, now 23, was also sent to the psychiatric center, but was released in 2021 to live with her father and was ordered to wear a GPS monitor, according to the Associated Press.
As for Leutner, she has tried to keep a low profile since her attack, first spoke about it publicly in a 2019 interview with 20/20. At the time, she said she slept with a pair of broken scissors under her pillow “just in case.” But she noted that she was oddly grateful for the ordeal, saying that if she ever spoke to Geyser again, she would “probably thank her, first of all.”
“Just because of what she did, I have the life I have now,” Leutner said. “I really, really love it and I have a plan. I didn't have a plan when I was 12, and now I have one because of everything I've been through. I don't I wouldn't think that someone who's been through what I've been through I would never have said that, but that's really how I feel without this whole situation, I wouldn't be who I am.
