(KSTP) – On Tuesday, a Shakopee man appeared in court on a first-degree murder charge he was indicted on in September of 2021. Alexis Saborit, 44, was found not guilty of first-degree murder by reason of mental illness, according to court records. Saborit was facing one count of first-degree murder for the beheading and death of America Mafalda Thayer, 55, in July 2021. A doctor that treated Saborit noted that he has experienced on-and-off episodes of severe psychosis and mania since at least 2018, court records show.
