Taylor Schabusiness attacks lawyer in Brown County courtroom; she is charged
with killing, decapitating friend Doug Schneider, Green Bay Press-Gazette Wed,
February 15, 2023 at 1:31 PM EST GREEN BAY - The woman accused of killing and
decapitating a male friend in 2022 attacked her attorney in court Tuesday,
throwing the courtroom into chaos as security officers broke up the attack.
Defendant Taylor Schabusiness, in handcuffs, jumped her attorney, Quinn Jolly,
at 8:48 a.m. Tuesday, appearing to strike Jolly's head with her elbow. A Brown
County sheriff's officer tackled Schabusiness moments later, and battled to keep
her on the ground as she struggled to get loose. A minute or so later, a court
employee told people in the hearing to clear the courtroom, which was about a
quarter to one-third full of media, other attorneys, and a supporter of
Schabusiness. The supporter encouraged Schabusiness, in Spanish, to calm down as
additional sheriff's officers rushed into the room.
