Nightmare In Wisconsin: Taylor Shabusiness Trial
·
The trial of Taylor Schabusiness, accused of murder and dismemberment in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has shocked and horrified the nation. Her questionable behavior in the courtroom, coupled with the gruesome details of the crime, has led to a public debate on her mental competence to stand trial. The hosts of the Hidden Killers podcast, having closely followed the trial, voiced their concerns over the adequacy of the ruling that deemed her competent.
Brueski began the conversation, expressing his doubt over the decision to let Schabusiness stand trial. "I've been shaking my head at this trial from day one," he confessed. "Looking at Taylor and her reactions... they have deemed her competent to stand trial. But I don't know how good of a decision that actually was."
Dreeke, a seasoned FBI agent, echoed Brueski's sentiment, arguing that while he advocates for accountability, Schabusiness's irrational behavior and the episode of her attacking her attorney in the courtroom might suggest she's not mentally fit to stand trial. He opined, "this woman seems off the rails. It's hard to imagine there's anything really knocking around up there... I think they need to reevaluate her on... her competency to stand well."
The hosts then dove into the ramifications of declaring Schabusiness mentally competent. Brueski pondered the decision's repercussions on her eventual sentence and prison life, "What point do we look at this and go, this person is very damaged. We can find them guilty, that's fine, but this just doesn't seem to be the right course of action."
Dreeke agreed, speculating whether her standing trial would change the outcome of her sentence and the treatment she'd receive behind bars. He said, "if she stands trial or doesn't stand trial, depending on her mental capacity to stand trial, does the outcome change? And in other words, she'll be, when she's put away, will her treatment... and the way she's taken care of in the prison system change?"
The conversation then took a darker turn as the hosts discussed the apparent lack of empathy and remorse displayed by Schabusiness. Brueski admitted to describing her as a "blob of flesh," highlighting her inhuman behavior. In response, Dreeke posited, "I think the soul in there, if we wanna go down that evil or good side, I think it's been locked away."
In conclusion, the hosts of the Hidden Killers podcast called into question the legal system's approach to assessing mental competence in a trial that involves such a complex interplay of nature and nurture. As Dreeke noted, it's crucial to understand that while individuals like Schabusiness might seem "evil," their behavior is often the result of various detrimental factors coming together in a "volatile, horrible combination."

22: Taylor Schabusiness Sentenced to Life Without Parole Part 1
In a crime that has sent shockwaves through the Brown County community, 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. The sentencing, passed down by Judge Thomas Walsh, comes after Schabusiness was found guilty of the brutal murder and dismemberment of her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Shad Thyrion.
The Crime's Grisly Details
Thyrion's dismembered remains were discovered in his mother's basement, sparking a horrifying investigation that quickly zeroed in on Schabusiness as the primary suspect. The most haunting discovery of the investigation was made by the victim's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, who found Thyrion's severed head and other body parts in a bucket.
Subsequent searches of the premises led to the discovery of additional body parts, evidence of drug use, and other incriminating items.
Tense Moments in Court
During her appearance in the Brown County Circuit Court, Schabusiness, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, remained an enigmatic figure. While she chose not to address the court, her reactions varied from apparent smirks to shaking her head as the details of her crimes were read out.
The courtroom was a cauldron of emotion. Kelly Thyrion, the victim's uncle, voiced his contempt for Schabusiness, using derogatory terms. On the other hand, Shad's father, Michael, expressed a more compassionate stance, asking for leniency and forgiveness.
The Sentence and Judge's Remarks
Judge Thomas Walsh's decision to sentence Schabusiness to life without parole underscored the severity of the crime. He stated, "This crime offends human decency, dignity, and the community." Despite the defense's attempts to cite Schabusiness's history of drug abuse and trauma as mitigating factors, the judge emphasized the need to prioritize public safety.
Drugs and Their Role in the Crime
Throughout the trial, there were constant reminders of the destructive role of drugs. Schabusiness confessed to both smoking methamphetamine and injecting herself and the victim with Trazodone, a strong sedative. This drug-fueled environment was presented as a backdrop to the tragic events that ensued.
Despite this, Dr. Diane Lytton, who assessed Schabusiness's mental state, suggested that she was experiencing psychosis, complete with hallucinations. However, the jury was not swayed by this testimony, given the physical evidence at hand.
The Aftermath
The Brown County community now faces the grim task of coming to terms with this tragic event. As the details of this case reverberate through the area, many residents are hoping for a renewed focus on the dangers of drug addiction and its potentially catastrophic outcomes.
