A woman in Wisconsin was found guilty of killing and dismembering her lover in 2022 during a meth-fueled rampage, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Jurors deliberated for 30 minutes before finding 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness guilty of the murder of Shad Thyrion, according to Front Page Detectives. She was found guilty on all charges against her: first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Schabusiness confessed to being on drugs when she strangled Thyrion with a metal chain while having sex in the basement of his family’s Brown County house.

Schabusiness is accused of hiding his mutilated body parts throughout the home and in a car.

Despite a bipolar diagnosis and her use of drugs to treat that condition, Judge Thomas Walsh said the defendant was still culpable for Thyrion’s slaying, WBAY reported.

Police responded to the residence on Feb. 23, 2022, and found Thyrion’s severed head and penis in a bucket. Trial testimony revealed that Thyrion’s mother initially believed her son’s head was fake, WBAY reported.

Pictures of Thyrion’s decapitated head from an autopsy were shown to jurors during the trial. Dr. Vincent Tranchida, a medical examiner for Dane County who performed the autopsy, testified it would have taken Schabusiness hours to dismember Thyrion, according to WBAY.

Last week, Schabusiness was found mentally fit to stand trial. Her first attorney withdrew after Schabusiness attacked him during a court hearing in February, as RadarOnline.com previously reported.

Schabusiness attacked her previous attorney during one of her court dates.

Schabusiness did not testify during her trial and reserved her right to remain silent, officials said.

Because Schabusiness pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, the jury now has to decide if she suffered from some sort of mental illness that prevented her from appreciating the seriousness of the crimes she was committing, according to WLUK.

The second phase of the trial begins today and if she is found not guilty in this second phase of the trial, Schabusiness will be sent to a state mental health institution instead of prison, WLUK reported.

Both the prosecution and defense are expected to call two or three witnesses each during this second phase.
