Wisconsin woman accused of decapitating lover randomly attacks own lawyer in court
NY Post ^ | February 14, 2023 | Katherine Donlevy

The Wisconsin woman accused of decapitating her lover during a wild meth-fueled escapade last year randomly attacked her own lawyer in the courtroom Tuesday — striking him in the head.

Taylor Schabusiness, 25, lunged at defense attorney Quinn Jolly after the judge in the gruesome murder case suggested pushing the trial back two months.

Shocking video of the spontaneous and violent outburst shows Schabusiness calmly sitting in the Green Bay courtroom as Judge Thomas J. Walsh recommends starting the murder trial on May 15 instead of March 6 — a suggestion he made at Jolly’s request.

Seemingly angered by the decision, the accused killer flings herself at the attorney, who was sitting beside her — striking him with her elbows and handcuffed wrists.

A security guard then quickly tackles Schabusiness to the ground, the chaotic clip shows.

At one point, the guard’s toolbelt becomes wrapped around Schabusiness’ toes, which were exposed after she lost her shoes in the tussle.

After several minutes, two other guards eventually help pin Schabusiness down until she is calm.

The bizarre blowup came after Jolly asked Walsh for an extension in order to prove his client was not competent to stand trail for the February 2022 grisly murder of 25-year-old Shad Thyrion, Law and Crime reported.

Jolly had told the judge he needed more time for a defense expert to review the case and testify as to his client’s competency.

A court-appointed doctor found Schabusiness competent to stand trial last year, but the defense attorney pushed back against the diagnosis.

Jolly said Schabusiness was previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has received mental health treatment since she was a 7th grader.

The attorney asked her a question, and just before she attacked, she shouted, “That’s none of Shabusiness!”

She's got an Addams Family vibe about her. I'd put her at 8/10 on the Hot/Crazy matrix, depending on what you consider "hot". Up there with "Strippers, Hairdressers, and girls named Tiffany Morticia..."

She’s hot, but nothing to lose your head over.

“Jolly said Schabusiness was previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has received mental health treatment since she was a 7th grader.”

I don’t think it’s working.

Tragic. she was off her medications and was gently subdued by professional guards. Very sad. She will be trapped in jail, confused and become highly medicated. Where are the parents and social workers? Someone failed to manage her disabilities.

I think she failed, especially when choosing meth.

Legal strategery. Her lawyer probably put her up to it.

She’s a bigun.

The FR “get her a cheeseburger” crowd would like some of that.

I think “randomly” is an incorrect adverb. It was anything but a random act.
