FOND DU LAC, Wis. (WLUK) — Taylor Schabusiness, who is convicted of killing and dismembering her boyfriend, attacked her second attorney Friday during a preliminary hearing on charges she assaulted a sergeant at the Taycheedah Correctional Institution.

Eventually, a not guilty plea was entered in the case.

Schabusiness attacked her attorney in 2023 when she was facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and third-degree sexual assault for allegedly attacking Shad Thyrion on Feb. 23, 2022.

According to the criminal complaint, Schabusiness, 27, needed care from a nurse after falling on a staple, which lodged in her arm. The sergeant -- who is labelled "VICTIM" in the complaint -- escorted her to the medical room on July 24. That’s when Schabusiness allegedly attacked her.

During court on Friday, Schabusiness attacked her attorney, Curtis Julka, before she was subdued by sheriff’s deputies, officials and court records confirmed.

The hearing was adjourned for about 45 minutes. When it resumed, Schabusiness appeared by video from the jail, rather than in person.

After testimony in the preliminary hearing, Schabusiness was ordered to stand trial, and a not guilty plea was entered, court records show.

Attorney Julka asked to withdraw from the case, but Judge Anthony Nehls had him finish Friday’s hearing, and then the request can be resubmitted.

Another court date was not set.
