Taylor Schabusiness Case
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.
Schabusiness’ defense attorney, Christopher Froelich, told the court she would speak on her own behalf before Walsh sentenced her. But when the judge asked Schabusiness if there was anything she’d like to say, she replied simply, “No, there isn’t.”
“She’s not a monster,” Froelich told the court, adding that at age 25 there’s still time for his client to be rehabilitated, WBAY-TV reported.
In February, Schabusiness attacked her previous attorney during a hearing before a deputy wrestled her to the courtroom floor.
Taylor Schabusiness the woman from Wisconsin is asking for a competency exam after she was charged with the brutal murder of a man. According to police records Taylor Schabusiness would choke a man to death during sex than afterwards would perform sexual acts with the corpse before carving up his body and chopping his head off. Taylor Schabusiness would be charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault. Taylor Schabusiness is also charged with two counts of violation of probation. Now Taylor is asking for a competency exam as she is blaming the brutal murder on a meth binge and more than likely going for an insanity defense.
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.
