A Wisconsin woman convicted of killing and dismembering a former boyfriend and scattering his body parts at various locations was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole.
A Brown County judge sentenced Taylor Schabusiness, 25, for the February 2022 killing of Shad Thyrion, 24. A jury had convicted her in July of first-degree intentional homicide, third-degree sexual assault and mutilating a corpse.
Schabusiness had pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, but jury also found that she wasn’t mentally ill when she killed Thyrion.
Prosecutors said Thyrion and Schabusiness had smoked methamphetamine in the basement of Thyrion’s mother’s Green Bay home before Schabusiness strangled, decapitated and dismembered him. She then left parts of his body throughout the house and in a vehicle, authorities said.
Schabusiness was arrested on Feb. 23, 2022, after Thyrion's mother called police to her house after she discovered her son’s head in a bucket in the basement.
Brown County Circuit Judge Thomas Walsh said Tuesday before announcing her sentence that “the offense in this case can’t be overstated," the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported.
“You seem to run out of superlatives. Where the victim’s remains are cut up? These actions are foreign. They shock the community; there aren’t really words for it," he said.

Yeah. But would Laz hit it?
She didn’t have time to get some fava beans and Chianti.
She attacked one of her attorneys in open court. Yeah, she could be rehabilitated. I suggest noose therapy.
That ain't none of schabusiness.
I’d say she’ll be pretty safe in the joint. Nobody is going to test her!
“Girls named Tiffany”, LOL!
Like my ex's first husband...
Trump has a daughter named Tiffany...
SPJNK.
There’s no business like Schabusiness!
Meth makes people inhuman. I have witnessed this firsthand. It is truly terrifying in a way that “Breaking Bad” never comes close to. And it’s only getting worse with Joe’s open borders.
Her lawyer said she’s not a monster. Oh sure, she’s the sweet Girl Scout from next door.
ROTFLMAO!
More like a C-10 and H-6
She must be pretty strong to hack up a guy.
Diane, can you tell me if this was fixed in any way? I pulled this section I retyped it in a doc form.
The Reader’s Digest 5 articles are no longer in print, the author sent me the 5 signed copies, he did for them. He has 4 more in a booklet called Free to Kill Again in paperback, which you can get from book outlets. I got mine from Amazon, hoping for a Kindle one. FJB writes for FEE.ORG too.
Wisconsin unless it’s changed old laws, life means 10 yrs. 30% serve rate.
PARTIAL:
THE LAW CRIMINALS LOVE
By Robert James Bidinotto
1989
A Clean Slate. The strange idea that a criminal has a right to keep his record secret emerged in the late 1960s when reformers argued that criminals were victims of circumstance who committed crimes only because they lacked other opportunities. Once criminals were “rehabilitated” in prison and released, it was unfair to saddle them with the “stigma” of their past transgressions.
Testifying before a Senate Sub-committee in 1974, for example, Aryeh Neier, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), claimed that ‘disseminating records makes it impossible for people to escape a pattern of criminal activity.” A person’s criminal record, he stated categorically, “should never be available for employment.”
Legislation introduced by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.) in the early 1970s provided that any state that accepted federal money must protect the privacy of criminal records from the Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA)-an agency that provided millions of dollars to state and local agencies to fight crime. Adopting LEAA regulations, state after state enacted criminal-records legislation, which built a wall of secrecy around “rap sheets”- officials summaries of a person’s arrest convictions and prison history.
The LEAA was phased out in the early 1980s. Today states, if they want to, can change their laws to open criminal records and allow the public to keep track of the criminals in their midst. However, Only Florida, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma have passed comprehensive open-records laws. Elsewhere, secrecy still largely prevails: public access is either denied or severely restricted. One can still examine daily police logs and attend trails to compile someone’s entire criminal history. This is the same case at the federal level.
“The criminal history records system in this country is in effect, closed,” says Robert Belair, attorney for SEARCH GROUP, Inc.., a nonprofit research organization of state criminal-justice officials. As a result, public safety has been compromised in ways that are simply absurd.
A crime is not a private event, but a public act that threatens everyone’s well-being. Predators who don’t respect the privacy of others have no grounds to demand privacy for themselves.
What can be done?
First, state criminal records law should be changed to allow public access to adult and juvenile criminal histories, including prison disciplinary records and transfers. Wisconsin, Florida have shown that an open-records system can work with few problems. “We have safeguards to ensure that records are complete and accurate,” says Fred Johns deputy of Florida’s Criminal Justice Information Systems.
Second victims and police must be notified of escapes, impending paroles, furloughs, or other releases. “Knowledge never harms public safety,” says Craig Klugman, who chairs the American Society of Newspaper Editors’ Freedom of Information Committee. “We ought to know if a convicted murderer rapist or embezzler is being released is being released to live in our city or neighborhood.”
Largely because of Renae Wicklund’s murder, Washington State has passed laws requiring the state to notify victims, their families and witnesses about an inmates release. In Seattle, King County prosecutor Norm Maleng maintains a dozen staffers who keep victims informed about their cases; his office also tries to weigh victims
Finally, sex crime victims should be able to require their assailants to undergo blood tests and then be informed of the results. In Kansas, former district attorney Dennis Moore drafted legislation to allow mandatory AIDS testing on those convicted of sex crimes. The bill is now law.
Other states should not wait for more murders or violent crimes to happen before they ACT. A criminal’s right to privacy is a fiction invented by social reformers and politicians who lose sight of the real dangers of this policy. Unlocking the secrets will require legislation by virtually every state. That will come only when outraged citizens demand it.
Jordan Peterson needs to do a long lecture on this incident.
“at age 25 there’s still time for his client to be rehabilitated...”
I’m no psychologist but I think once you cross certain threshholds, like dismembering a human body, that ship may have sailed.
“WTF kind of name is that?”
It’s none of schabusiness, that’s what kind of name it is.
