GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The next hearing to address accused murderer Taylor Schabusiness’ competency will be held March 24, the court scheduled on Monday.
Schabusiness, 25, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and third-degree sexual assault for allegedly attacking Shad Thyrion last year. She has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
Separate the so-called insanity plea is the issue of if she is competent to stand trial. That refers to the defendant’s ability to understand the court proceedings and assist in their own defense. The issue of her competency still hasn’t been decided — which was one of the reasons the March 6 trial date was postponed.
At a hearing last week, Judge Thomas Walsh gave her new attorney time to review reports related to these issues.
Although originally set for March 20, a doctor wasn’t available that day, so the new date is March 24.
