Nightmare In Wisconsin: Taylor Shabusiness Trial

On a recent episode of the Hidden Killers podcast, Tony Brueski, alongside retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke, dove deep into the chilling trial of Taylor Schabusiness. Their conversation dissected the harrowing details of the case while raising poignant questions about the mental competence of the accused.
 
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."

In a recent episode of the popular podcast "Hidden Killers", host Tony Brueski engaged in an intense discussion with Neama Rahmani, an attorney and former Federal prosecutor, concerning the convoluted case of Taylor Schabusiness. The defendant is notorious for her horrific crimes and erratic behavior, and the pair examined the intersection of mental health, legal intricacies, and societal perceptions in her trial.
 
Brueski acknowledged the severe mental health issues plaguing Schabusiness, pointing out that she was "not playing with a full deck" and that her drug usage seemed to have exacerbated her unstable mental state. He expressed concerns about the trial's apparent misunderstanding of mental illness and its potential impacts on the defendant. Rahmani agreed that Schabusiness was a "very unique criminal defendant," noting her violent behavior towards her former defense attorney and a psychologist evaluating her.
 
Rahmani noted that once Schabusiness was deemed competent to stand trial, arguing her case became significantly more challenging due to her lack of sympathy and her hostility towards her own defense team. "I don't think she did herself any favors by attacking folks on her defense team," Rahmani remarked.
 
Discussing the difficult task of proving insanity as a defense, Brueski questioned, "What is the bar for being competent or sane at the commission of a crime? If this one is not, what is?" Rahmani explained that every state has a different standard, but typically, the burden of proof falls on the defense. The insanity defense demands that due to a mental disease or defect, the defendant did not comprehend the consequences of their actions or distinguish right from wrong.
 
Rahmani pointed out that this is a high standard to meet, and jurors have grown more skeptical over time, viewing it as a potential "pass" for criminal defendants. He mentioned a notable shift among Wisconsin jurors and Schabusiness's unlikable demeanor in court, which made it an uphill battle for her defense team.
 
Rahmani was asked about the frequency of such a defense's success when representing a client with clear mental health issues. He underlined the two separate issues at play—insanity as a jury question and competence for the proceedings as a question for the judge. Rahmani explained, "You have all types. You have pretty frail people... But again, it's a tough burden for defense attorneys to meet."
 
 Brueski raised concerns about Schabusiness's comprehension of the trial proceedings, asking if the client needs to be "an active and competent member of their own defense." Rahmani acknowledged that judges are generally skeptical, often suspecting defendants of feigning incompetence. He concluded, "At the end of the day, you have someone like Schabusiness who was clearly upset enough to attack her lawyer or her psych. She just might be someone who, frankly, is consumed with rage or have some other issue."
 
 This comprehensive analysis by Brueski and Rahmani provides an insightful look into the role mental health plays in the legal system. The conversation underlines the complex interplay between mental illness, societal perceptions, and legal defense, as shown vividly in the disturbing case of Taylor Schabusiness. The trial raises pressing questions about the justice system's understanding of mental health issues and its ability to handle cases involving individuals with severe mental disorders.

On a recent episode of the renowned podcast "Hidden Killers," hosts Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer delved into the complex, disturbing case of Taylor Schabusiness. This name seems to epitomize the bizarre and horrific nature of her crimes. Brueski had been closely following the case, even appearing on court TV to discuss its peculiarities.
 
Despite being married with a child, Schabusiness was not known by her husband's original surname, Shabo, but rather by a self-chosen name, "Schabusiness," reportedly adopted in a meth-fueled moment. Schabusiness's case involves murder, mutilation, and the argument of mental incompetence.
 
Throughout the trial, the defense aimed to establish Schabusiness as mentally unstable and thus unaware of her actions at the time of the murder. Brueski and Coffindaffer discussed this argument at length, with the latter reflecting, "It was certainly a card that had to be played, that was their best bet." Despite this, Coffindaffer firmly believes the crimes committed were choices Schabusiness made, likely exacerbated by meth use.
 
The former FBI agent emphasized the destructive nature of meth addiction, stating, "It is unbelievable what happens to people... involved with meth. Not only in trafficking but using it." Coffindaffer shared a harrowing anecdote about a man who, high on meth, jumped out of a three-story building, displaying the drug's capacity to drive users to extreme actions. She added, "And meth and sex go hand in hand. It's a drug that fuels very bizarre sexual behavior."

In just 30 minutes, the jury delivered their verdict. While the hosts agreed that Schabusiness likely suffers from serious mental health issues, they considered whether her drug use had exacerbated these pre-existing conditions. They noted her abnormal reactions in court, suggesting her detachment could be symptomatic of her diagnosed disorders.
 
However, Coffindaffer suggested the key point is whether her mental illness compelled her to commit the crime. She expressed her disbelief at a photo of Schabusiness with Jeffrey Dahmer, indicating a certain admiration for the infamous serial killer. Coffindaffer inferred, "For me, that was a window into the soul, if you will."
 
The jury's main task was to determine if Schabusiness could discern right from wrong at the time of the crime. Coffindaffer believes she could, stating, "And I think she did." The hosts agreed that regardless of her drug use and mental illness, Schabusiness exudes an ominous aura, creating a chilling sense of pure evil that seems irredeemable.
 
Coffindaffer revealed that she was recently contacted by a forensic psychologist about a project examining the fine line between mental incompetence and evil in individuals who commit mass murders. She expressed excitement about the project, stating, "I'm looking forward to working with her because she was explaining to me, the distinction between truly being crazy and being evil... and just using that sort of as an excuse to commit crime."

In a harrowing three-day trial, Taylor Schabusiness, 25, has been found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, third-degree sexual assault, and mutilating a corpse in the case of Shad Thyrion's brutal murder and dismemberment. The disturbing events unfolded in February 2022 when Thyrion, 25, was killed and dismembered in his mother's basement.
During the trial, the prosecution presented a horrifying sequence of events. They alleged that Schabusiness took advantage of Thyrion during a sexual encounter that turned rough, leading her to strangle him with a chain until he was dead. Shockingly, Schabusiness then engaged in further sexual acts with the lifeless body before dismembering it into several pieces and scattering them throughout the victim's home and a vehicle.
The trial commenced with powerful opening statements from the prosecutors and the defense. The defense urged the jury to consider all aspects of the case, emphasizing that stories often have multiple sides.
Tara Pakanich, Thyrion's mother, told the court that she was awakened by a knock on her front door at 2:30 a.m. on February 23, 2022. She walked downstairs to see whether Thyrion was there, and when she couldn't find him, she went back upstairs and discovered the bucket with some of her son's remains.
Steve Hendricks, Ms. Pakanich's boyfriend, immediately dialed 911. Bodycam video of officers responding to the scene shows them examining the home's basement and sealing the crime scene after confirming the presence of a human head within the bucket.
Key testimony came from Dr. Vincent Tranchida, who confirmed that Thyrion's cause of death was strangulation, not a drug overdose as initially suggested. Tranchida described Thyrion's body as "eviscerated," with organs removed. A police officer from the Green Bay Police Department also testified, revealing incriminating evidence found at the scene, including bloody footprints around Schabusiness' van and blood on her hands.
 During the trial's third day, the prosecution presented a video recording of Schabusiness' chilling interview with the police on February 23. In the footage, she admitted to strangling Thyrion, providing detailed accounts of the events leading to his death. Shockingly, a photo of notorious Wisconsin serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was found on Schabusiness' phone, indicating her fascination with him.
According to the criminal complaint, Schabusiness confessed to investigators that she and Thyrion were using drugs, including meth, at the time of the incident. The trial revealed that she had used knives from the kitchen to carry out the gruesome dismemberment. She claimed she had initially intended to take all the body parts with her but ultimately abandoned the plan due to laziness.
Throughout the trial, the state presented 28 witnesses, while the defense had only one witness who could not attend due to a medical issue. Despite a motion for a mistrial, Judge Thomas Walsh denied it.
The next trial phase will investigate whether Schabusiness suffered from a mental disease or defect at the time of the killing, possibly influencing her responsibility for the crime.

This is our raw continuing coverage of The Taylor Shabusiness Trial. Raw courtroom audio from the hearing and trial of Taylor Shabusiness.
 
In the quiet community of Green Bay, Wisconsin, a case of macabre violence and unsettling details has thrust 24-year-old Taylor Schabusiness into the national spotlight. The charges against her paint a picture of a chilling incident that is as disturbing as it is complex.
 
Schabusiness stands accused of the gruesome killing of Shad Thyrion, a fellow resident of Green Bay. The prosecution alleges a harrowing series of events involving drug use, sexual abuse, strangulation, and a subsequent act of mutilation that seems ripped from the pages of a crime thriller rather than the tranquil landscapes of Wisconsin.
 
The charges brought against Schabusiness are weighty. She faces first-degree intentional homicide, accused of having strangled Thyrion. But the cruelty of the alleged act doesn't stop there. Following Thyrion's death, Schabusiness is believed to have embarked on a grisly act of dismemberment, a charge brought against her as mutilating a corpse. The final charge is third-degree sexual assault, based on allegations that Schabusiness engaged in sexual abuse of Thyrion's lifeless body.
 
What makes this case particularly chilling is the supposed confession by Schabusiness herself. According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, Schabusiness admitted to the killing and even expressed a warped sense of pleasure from the act. “Ya I liked it,” she's reported to have said.
 
The discovery of Thyrion's remains was a shocking revelation of the horrors. His mother found his decapitated head and a male organ in a plastic container in the basement, prompting an immediate call to the authorities. His legs were later discovered in a crockpot box in a vehicle Schabusiness was said to have been driving, while the rest of his body was found in various bags throughout the basement.
 
Court records indicate that Schabusiness had been equipped with a GPS monitor due to previous criminal charges. At the time of her arrest, she was wearing this monitor, a detail that seems to add a haunting layer to this tragic story.
 
The case against Taylor Schabusiness presents a sobering reminder of the depths of human cruelty. As the trial proceeds, the community of Green Bay, and indeed the nation, waits for justice to be served. Regardless of the verdict, the shocking events alleged in this case will linger in the minds of many, a tragic testament to a life that ended in such a brutal manner.
