The shocking attack on the lawyer

According to the outlet, the attack took place in a Wisconsin courtroom. The woman, whose name is Taylor Schabusiness, sat quietly next to her attorney, Quinn Jolly, during a competency hearing.

Jolly reportedly asked the court for an extension to give the expert witness additional time to “assess the competence of scabbusiness to stand trial.” The judge granted the attorney’s motion. And postponed the trial of the woman from March 6th to May 15th.

Schabusiness didn’t seem at all happy with the decision. Video footage shows the woman getting up and hitting her lawyer with her clenched fists. She tries to land more hits but is then knocked down by a court deputy.

Moments later, he and others managed to get Schabusiness sitting quietly on the floor in front of a door. And the group of guards keeps asking her if she’s hurt.

Schabusiness stated that all body parts should be in the basement. Schabusiness stated that there should be a foot or a leg in the minivan.
