A 15-year-old Wisconsin girl who was charged in the stabbing a classmate in a park woods three years ago will not go to jail but will face treatment for mental illness instead.

Anissa Weier could spend at least three years in a mental institution instead of 10 years in prison after a jury voted 10 to 12 that Weier was delusional and not criminally responsible for her actions at the time of the attempted murder.
