Schabusiness Attacks Attorney In Brown County Courtroom

Taylor Schabusiness, the woman charged in a murder and dismemberment incident last year, attacked her attorney yesterday in a Brown County court room during a competency hearing.

Schabusiness then struggled with a deputy who attempted to subdue her.

The attorney asked the judge if he could withdraw from the case. A process he will have to file with the court.

After the attack, Schabusiness was heard asking deputies what happened. “You went crazy on your attorney,” deputies responded.

Schabusiness, 25, is charged with the February 2022 killing and dismemberment of a man in Green Bay.

Her attorney started off the hearing by asking the court for two more weeks so the defense expert could testify on Schabusiness’s competency. The judge agreed to push back the trial to May.

That appeared to have set Schabusiness off.

That competency hearing has been adjourned to March 6. That’s when Schabusiness was originally scheduled to stand trial.

The judge also proposed a May 15 trial date.

Schabusiness has pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to charges of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide, Mutilating a Corpse, and 3rd Degree Sexual Assault.
