Taylor Schabusiness, the woman accused in a grisly killing and dismemberment case in Green Bay, attacked her attorney during a court hearing Tuesday morning, Feb. 14. This happened moments after the judge indicated he was going to delay her March 6 trial.
Legal maneuvers continued into this week. On Monday, Schabusiness' current attorney, Christopher Froelich, withdrew a request to postpone the sentencing. Froelich told the court on Friday that he had not been allowed to see his client in the Brown County Jail to prepare for sentencing, but on Monday filed a motion saying he was finally allowed to sit down with her in the jail.
