See her laugh when they said Dahmer's butt

These searches show a form of motive and are absolutely valid evidence to be shown to the jury, good on the judge!

Like he mentioned mistrial though, never seen anything like it
 
I have not followed from the beginning and have a few questions if anyone may know.

Was her Husband incarcerated when this murder happened?
Were her and Shad "buddies" or has she always been in love with him?
Was she a regular meth user?
Wondering if her Husband will testify?

I'm anxious to see her interview.

Defendants have a right to wear street clothes for the jury trial so as not to undermine the presumption of innocence. The jurors must assume the defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Most U.S. states (if not all) allow defendants to appear in court in street clothes for the jury trial.

In all of my years of trial watching, I do not recall a defense attny ask for a mistrial for a report that had not been entered into evidence by the prosecution yet and was not even going to be offered to the jury! If he is referring to the witness recalling various searches for "satanic bible" "jeffrey dahmer" and "kkk", he could have objected to the answer and requested it to be stricken from the record. But a mistrial over it?

Did this man not review any of the discovery the prosecution provided to him regarding this entire investigation? Every report and photograph he inspects and takes notes on them like he is seeing them for the first time while everyone waits on him to do so. Then he shows them one by one to his client. While everyone waits again! That is just so bizarre and such a waste of the court's time.

Hi @Rhozwen, I understand that... my question is why the change of blouse? It looked like she had a different blouse on than earlier but I maybe wrong about that. moo

Mistrial sought, denied​

Froelich, outside the jury at day's end, asked Walsh to declare a mistrial, which would have required the case to start over, because prosecutors indicated they wanted to introduce evidence that Schabusiness' internet searches in February 2022 indicated a significant interest in Jeffrey Dahmer, the serial killer and sex offender who Froelich called "the worst killer in Wisconsin." Froelich said it would be unfair for prosecutors to connect Dahmer's case and Schabusiness'. Dahmer was murdered in state prison in 1994 while serving 15 life sentences for murder.

Walsh denied Froelich's request for a mistrial, but told prosecutors he did not want "further references made" to Dahmer.

I went back through today's stream and you are absolutely right! She started the day in one blouse then after coming back from the first AM break she had a different blouse on. Then after the afternoon break, she came back with the first blouse she had on. Good eye on that one!
That is odd and now I wonder if she is going to start doing random things to play with the audience. She does seem to enjoy the attention.

(My apologies for misunderstanding what you were asking!)
 
I didn’t know about the Dahmer searches before today. This further solidifies my thought that she researched what to do with the body or at very least used things she learned about him to commit the crime. Are we sure she didn’t eat any?

That was on the 13th. Was she found competent? I didn’t think they could start the trial if not.

Wait, is defense for real here?! Yah, I can bet that we all have numerous "dodgy" searches in our cyber history of murder and serial murderers... The difference is, we haven't gone and butchered someone and put their head in a bucket after googling Dahmer!

This dude is going to object to every iota of evidence that proves premeditation and he's getting on my nerves now

I'm glad he's trying to put up some kind of defense otherwise there could be a claim of ineffective council.

Yah for sure, like @Rhozwen said above too he is certainly taking his time going over the files as if he's seeing them for the first time, which could could be somewhat accurate being that he was only assigned the case not too long ago after she clobbered her last lawyer!

He's proper grasping though, like you can tell that he's doing his damnedest to look like he's being diligent, with his cross examinations and his green marker but in reality he's just babbling because he has absolutely nuffin on that table that can get him a win.
