Taylor Schabusiness More News

A judge will review a request Thursday for a competency exam for the woman accused of decapitating a man.

Taylor Schabusiness is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault for allegedly killing Shad Thyrion Feb. 22 at a west side home.

Her attorney requested the competency exam, saying based on his conversations with her he questions if Schabusiness understands the court proceedings and can assist in her own defense.

The case was assigned to Judge Thomas Walsh, with a hearing set for Thursday, court records show. Such competency exam requests are routinely granted.

Schabusiness also has balance of initial appearance scheduled for March 22, but that is likely to be postponed while the psychiatric review is performed. She is currently being held on $2 million cash bond.

This competency exam is separate from any possible so-called insanity plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. Such a plea would come at a later stage of the case. The only issues for the competency exam are her ability to understand the proceedings and help in her own defense.

According to the criminal complaint, police were called to a residence on Stony Brook early in the morning of Feb. 23. There, police found a severed head inside a bucket in the basement.

Schabusiness said she and the victim were using drugs, including meth, and engaging in sexual play, when the man was strangled. She then sexually abused him, dismembered the body, and placed body parts in various locations in the home and a vehicle, the criminal complaint states.

“Schabusiness made the comment that at one point, she did get paranoid and lazy and that she thought it was the “dope” that was making her paranoid,” the complaint states.

Police say they took Schabusiness into custody later on Feb. 23 at an Eastman Avenue residence.

Cristel Cardenas and Luis Flores would be arrested, Cristel Cardenas would be convicted and could be sentenced to life in prison at her sentencing hearing later on. Luis Flores stand trial in April 2022.

Cristel Cardenas More News

It’s been almost four years to the day since a teenage girl woke up and discovered the bodies of her mother and her mother’s boyfriend at their home in Garfield. On Friday, a jury found one of the two defendants in the killing guilty on three of the four charges.

Cristal Cardenas, 34, was convicted on one count of first-degree murder, one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and one count of criminal solicitation. The jury also found her not guilty of a second count of first-degree murder. Police say she arranged a hit on her ex-boyfriend and the father of her daughter, then aided her new boyfriend in killing the man and his new girlfriend.

According to police, Cristal Cardenas and her new boyfriend, 36-year-old Luis Flores, killed Mario Cabral and his girlfriend Venessa Mora Rodriguez on March 25, 2018. All the while, Mora Rodriguez’s daughter hid in another room. Police said that Mora Rodriguez’s daughter discovered Cabral and her mother the morning after the killing.

It’s unclear how this verdict will affect Flores’ trial, which is scheduled to start in April.

Three hours before the jury returned with their decision, prosecutors representing the state and a defense lawyer representing Cardenas battled it out one last time. Arif Abrar, an assistant district attorney, went first in closing arguments. He outlined the case he and his fellow prosecutor, Linzui Vergara, built over the last five days.

He started by outlining the night and early morning of March 25, 2018, as testified to by Mora Rodriguez’s daughter. The daughter told the jury that she was watching television with her mom and Cabral before going to bed. She woke up a few hours later to the sound of gunshots. The daughter said she hid under a blanket for a while before she fell back asleep, believing the whole thing was a nightmare

When she woke up, she found her mother and Cabral in a pool of blood. She ran across the street to a neighbor’s house and called the police.

Abrar said that evidence and other witness testimony filled in the rest of the story. He said Flores broke into the house, shot Cabral once, shot Mora Rodriguez three times, then turned back to Cabral. Abrar said Flores then shot Cabral in the groin area six times.

Abrar also spent some time refuting a theory that Cardenas’ lawyer suggested at the start of the trial: that is that Cabral and Mora Rodriguez were killed by a drug cartel.

“Have you heard a single word of that?” Abrar said, referring to the testimony that would’ve supported the cartel theory. “Nothing shows that because it’s made up. It’s there to confuse you.”

Instead, Abrar said the motive was much simpler: money and jealousy. He said that Cristal Cardenas was going to lose her house which Cabral built for her and their daughter when they were still in a relationship. If Cabral died, the house would stay in her control, Abrar said.

Abrar said that Cristal Cardenas and Flores intended to hire a hitman and, when that fell through, they did the job themselves. They surveilled Cabral’s house and waited to strike until just after midnight on March 25, 2018.

“This was meticulously planned,” Abrar said.

Cristal Cardenas’ lawyer, Todd Holmes, disagreed. Holmes began his closing argument with a wider view of how prosecutors were going about prosecuting the case

“Don’t let the government shift our 200-year-old right,” Holmes said, referring to prosecutors representing the State of New Mexico.

Holmes also pushed back on any implication that it was the defense’s job to prove an alternative theory. He said that his statements regarding cartel involvement at the start of the trial were one possible alternative. Ultimately, he said the facts of the case didn’t line up with the prosecutor’s narrative.

Holmes also pointed out a lack of physical evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, that would place Flores or Cardenas in the trailer during the shooting. Additionally, he raised questions about the reliability of one of the state’s key witnesses, the man who said Cristal Cardenas paid him to kill her ex-boyfriend.

Closing arguments were also a bit snippy. At several points, prosectors objected to statements from Holmes forcing 3rd Judicial District Judge Conrad Perea to intervene. After the conviction, Cardenas is set to be sentenced at a future date. She could face life in prison.
