A woman who killed and dismembered her lover during a meth-fuelled tryst lunged at her own lawyer in a wild courtroom outburst caught on video.

A US woman who killed and dismembered her lover during a meth-fuelled tryst has been caught on camera lunging at her own lawyer in a wild courtroom outburst.

Taylor Schabusiness, 27 — who strangled boyfriend Shad Thyrion then cut off his corpse’s head and penis in February 2022 — is shown inexplicably screaming and trying to attack lawyer, Paul Julka, during a court appearance.

At least five court security are seen rushing to hold her back before she can strike the lawyer, who had been seated at a table next to her, according to shocking footage published by Court TV.

The lawyer throws up his hands and shrugs with resigned nonchalance as she writhes on the floor next to him, surrounded by court officers.

Schabusiness, who was sentenced to life in prison in September 2023, had been back in court in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, for a hearing because she allegedly attacked a prison guard earlier this year, the New York Post reports.

Julka was speaking to the judge about a witness when Schabusiness flipped out and began shouting something undecipherable, the footage shows.

In February 2022, Schabusiness mutilated and sexually abused Thyrion’s corpse after initially choking him during foreplay, Green Bay Police Department Detective David Graf testified during her trial.

Schabusiness, who was sentenced to life in prison in September 2023, had been back in court for a hearing because she allegedly attacked a prison guard earlier this year.

She said she “enjoyed” the choking during sex and “wanted to see what would happen” if she kept going, the cop testified.

After he died, she chopped off her lover’s head and cuddled his corpse, Graf said.

Schabusiness was found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, third-degree sexual assault, and mutilating a corpse.

A jury rejected her insanity plea.

Her Friday morning hearing for the alleged prison guard attack was moved to Zoom after the outburst.
