A woman serving life in prison for murdering her ex-boyfriend and dismembering his body with a bread knife was tackled in court Friday after she tried to attack her own defense attorney. The dramatic scene played out in Fon du Lac, Wisconsin, where 27-year-old Taylor Schabusiness was back in court for a preliminary hearing after she allegedly attacked a prison guard this year. A horde of deputies sprung into action and tackled the woman—who screamed something undecipherable as she lunged to her right—before she could make contact with her attorney, who was sitting at the same table as her. The counselor hardly flinched while the cops reacted in a matter of seconds. After she was subdued, her attorney glanced at prosecutors, threw his hand up, and shrugged his shoulders. Schabusiness was convicted in 2023 for murdering 24-year-old Shad Thyrion in a meth-fueled sexual encounter the year prior. Schabusiness filed an appeal after she was sentenced but dropped it just last month. Her Friday hearing for the alleged prison attack has been moved to Zoom.
