GREEN BAY (Scripps News Green Bay) — Weeks before Taylor Schabusiness is set to go to trial on July 24, Judge Thomas Walsh has approved another competency hearing.

The defense argued in a motion for a new evaluation that a completed competency evaluation filed on Nov. 18, 2022, is no longer current and the defense counsel has concerns that Schabusiness “may have been suffering from a mental breakdown or other mental defect before and after the alleged incident on Feb. 23, 2022.” [..]

The state’s court ordered doctor is currently scheduled to testify on Schabusiness’ competency at 8:30 a.m. July 21 prior to jury selection that afternoon. Opening statements and testimony is scheduled for Monday, July 24 with the trial expected to last one week.

The Wisconsin woman accused of decapitating her lover reportedly made bizarre claims during psychiatric evaluations. #TaylorSchabusiness allegedly claimed she witnessed Johnny Cash die on a train, along with stating she had a "thing" with notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Experts from the Wisconsin Forensic Unit have been ordered to perform their own evaluation of Schabusiness. They are set to present their report July 21. Lytton will be allowed to provide rebuttal testimony at that hearing.

It will be up to Walsh to make a final determination on Schabusiness’ competency. The decision could come shortly before her trial is set to begin with jury selection July 21. If Schabusiness is found not competent, the trial would be delayed.
