Woman attacks attorney at hearing in murder and dismemberment case

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - A Green Bay woman charged in a murder and dismemberment case attacked her attorney in Brown County Court Tuesday.

Taylor Schabusiness lunged at attorney Quinn Jolly and was pinned to the ground by a deputy. Schabusiness struggled with a deputy who attempted to subdue her.

Additional deputies were called to the courtroom.

The call was heard over the scanner: “They need a code three in branch two, wrestling with Schabusiness.”

Jolly asked the judge to withdraw from the case. He will have to file with the court.

After the attack, Schabusiness was heard asking deputies what happened.

“You went off on your attorney, Taylor, you went crazy on your attorney,” they responded.

Schabusiness, 25, was in court for a competency hearing. She’s charged with the February 2022 killing and dismemberment of Shad Thyrion. Jolly 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.

I thought that was her first name ... still a tad odd though.

My impression, based on following the case since her arrest, is that she is trying to secure an insanity defense. That's not to say that I think she is a "normal" individual -- whatever the heck that is. Certainly not stable or trustworthy. But not of the quality that meets the legal standard for "insane" (keeping in mind it is a legal standard, not a mental health diagnosis).

If it waas pre-meditated it would signal logic and the ability to strategize.

If not, she merely is human, and should stand trial. ;

previously meth was made with ephedrine which was a said to be a happier buzz

they clamped down on ephedrine and now meth is made with P2P, which has been shown to make users insane, literally psychotic.

Even when you stop using and get clean, it takes years for the insanity to go away

This lady for example, she aint using now in jail i reckon and is cray
