The two 12yearold wisconsin girls accused of luring their friend into the woods and then stabbing her 19 times and leaving her for dead. All to impress a character they learned about on the internet. Now a big court ruling. Heres abcs alex perez. Reporter girls just 12 and 13 years old. Yet accused of a brutal crime. Stabbing a friend 19 times and leaving her for dead. All to please a fictional horror character, made up on the internet, today, a judge finding both anissa and morgan competent to stand trial. The judge wouldnt let cameras in court. We could hear anissa. I consider myself incompetent, sir. Reporter the judge disagreed. Shes competent to be able to make the decisions that need to be mad. Reporter this testimony after two doctors. The court has officially said i believe theyre competent to stand trial, they understand the proceedings against them. They can assist in their defenses. Reporter the judge later found Morgan Geyser competent after her lawyers waived her right to a hearing. The two girls are likely to be tried as a adults. In wisconsin, anyone older than 10 is presumed to be an adult. The parents of payton sat down with david muir for this. Its about making sure payton feels safe and that she can move on with the rest of her life with no fear. Reporter it all started seven months ago in wisconsin, just outside of milwaukee. Appears to be stand. She appears to be what . Stabbed. Reporter the three girls were on a birthday sleepover where they went missing. Payton came crawling out of the woods with wounds. They had run away and the police hadnt found them yet and we just knew that payton told us that morgan stabbed her and the police hadnt been able to find the girls. Police believed those girls were walking. Yeah. They were going to find a mansion in the woods. Yeah, the mansion in the woods. Reporter slender man a fictitious character that the girls wanted to impress. A major search by ground. Police are still on the scene here. Two 12yearold girls stabbing their friendly nearly to death is unimaginable any time, but especially for a Safe Community like this city. Reporter five hours later, police found the girls along interstate 94, a knife with a 5inch blade in one of the girls bags. The knife from the stabbing was located in the backpack that was in the possession of the two suspects. Reporter police say they were carrying clothes, gra nola bars, water bottles. One girl was carrying her parents. Neither girl put up a fight and were taken into custody and questioned. Paytons parents were asking her what happened, too. Has payton talked at all about the horror of that moment sf. She told me she was scared. She said all i remember is the pain. How well did you know these two other girls. Paytons best friend. Any red flags. They would have arguments. Reporter what drove best friends to allegedly to commit such a heinous crime . They told police it was their devotion to slender man, who lurks in the background of images, sometimes appearing over the shoulders of children. Giving this fictional character new life every day. Its the thing that we fear that we dont actually see. What was shocking to me how planned out this was. Anissa revealed that it was morgans idea to kill payton. Paytons parents took david to those woods and recalled their daughters harrowing story. She told me she didnt want to play hide and seek in the woods. She said she was forced to go. Reporter the girls told police about that game of hide and seek. Anissa and the victim were hiding. Reporter anissa tells police that she sits on payton and she couldnt breathe. At that point, one girl says to the other, just go crazy. Yeah, yeah. Reporter a short time later, anissa tells police that morgan takes the knife, im not going to until you tell me. Payton is stabbed 19 times, stumbling trying to get up. Where on earth do you think she got the strength to crawl out of those woods. We asked her and she said, i wanted to live. Reporter today payton has recovered from her wounds. Her bedroom is covered in purple hearts, messages of support that she has received from around the world after that horrible day. Now, morgan and anissa await their trial. Pretrial hearings, motions, they all begin now. Now that the court has said, theyre competent to stand trial. Reporter for nightline, im alex perez.

A few stops later, and it looks like big ollie is on the mend. It might not seem that glamorous having an old pickup truck for an office. Or filling your days looking down the south end of a heifer, but. I wouldnt have it any other way. Look at that, i had my best month ever. And earned a shiny new office upgrade. I run on quickbooks. Thats how i own it. Tonight, with police under scrutiny and Racial Injustice in the spotlight a new movie is bringing the original march to freedom on the big screen, selma comes out an important time and the backing of a producer named oprah. She talked to Robin Roberts about looking at awards season from the inside this year. Im just here trying to register to vote. Reporter thats oprah in selma. Do you know what the preamble is . Reporter repeatedly humiliated when she tries to register to vote. Her brave attempt to have a voice heard made her a littleknown hero of a Voting Rights movement. I did it for everybody. Whos taken that walk. And who literally took that walk for me. So that i could and you could be sitting here today. We must march reporter selma chronicles the 1965 the montgomery march led by dr. Martin luther king jr. Often brutal violence African Americans faced when they tried to vote. The release of this film comes at perhaps the right moment in time. Strategic intention. That had to happen in order for Real Progress to be made. Got to have a clear strategic intention of what it is you want to accomplishment and you cant be heard unless you come in peace. Those of us who have gone before us. Reporter the leader dr. Martin luther king is portrayed by a british actor. I said yes to coming on as producer because i loved david, and we became friends during the butler. Im sorry, mr. Butler, i didnt mean to make fun of your hero. Reporter david showed me this little tape of himself. On his phone. Of him doing an audition for Martin Luther king. I said, david, im going to tell you the truth its really good but its not there yet. Youre not there yet. I would like to do what i can do help you get there. Reporter oprah certainly did. The film has earned four golden globe awards. But oprah found its biggest challenge in its director after other directors all men turned it down. What did you see in her that stood out . What shes able the do is make every person like youre special, valued and your being here really matters to the film. Reporter while she brings the Pivotal Moment in history to life on screen, off screen, shes hoping to make history herself and indeed she has, shes the first after can American Woman to be nominated for golden globe for best director. Has it sunk in now . It has. Its fun. Its bringing attention to the film which is the most important thing. Reporter youre very quick to point to others who paved the way. Its bittersweet. My mother is very happy. But certainly i know that im not the first black woman deserving of this. Reporter while her time on the red carpet is only just beginning action. Shes not the first female director get there. In 2010, kat lin bigolo won. My cameramen are going to be walking along the crowd. Reporter the scenes that were the most impactful were also the hardest to direct. I got to tell you this story. Were out with the extras. Youre trying to get the people and theyre lovely people, white people come, first time, theyll all dressed in the period time. A woman comes up to eva now, do you want me to say the n word or do you want to say the actual word . I said, no, maam, i want you to say the nword. Do i say nword or do i say the real word. I said, no maam, the real nword. I cant see life sometimes. Because of the fog. Reporter the film gives us an intimate portrayal of dr. King and his marriage. Another perspective that you brought to so delicately address dr. Kings infidelity through kcorkor Coretta Scott king. To do it with within the context of the marriage. Another director. We have seen some scripts by male directors. Reporter as she reiterates the fill system much bigger than the story of any one man. The film is called selma not king for a reason. Reporter i hard you say your hope is this will help in the conversation that were having as a nation about race . Yes. It was jawdropping that this piece of art is coming out in this time, so robust with this energy of time. I hope this film adds to that change and maybe spark some new ideas.
