Toby Madden Case

Closing arguments are underway Friday morning in Toby Madden’s murder trial.

A quick verdict is expected after an outburst from Madden as the trial got underway earlier this week.

Madden is accused of stabbing his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his child 55 times inside their Hamilton home in October 2022.

He is charged with two counts each of murder and felonious assault in the slaying of 50-year-old Rachelle Brewsaugh.

Madden broke down sobbing when he saw their grown daughter and other relatives in court Monday before the jury was brought in.

Making a stabbing motion with his arm, Madden told his family: “I’m responsible for what happened to her. I didn’t mean it. I love you,” Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Mike Hon said in court Monday, according to the proceedings captured on camera by Court TV.

Madden also told his daughter: “I don’t want you to hate me.”

Courtroom recording devices captured the stunning admission.

Until Monday, Madden had maintained his innocence and insisted he was not the one who killed his girlfriend of 27 years.

Brewsaugh was stabbed in her head, chest, abdomen, upper back, left knee and both sides of her arms, shoulders and hands, according to her autopsy report.

One of the first witnesses the prosecutor called to the stand was Madden’s daughter, MacKayla Madden.

She testified about her parent’s volatile, on-off relationship.

She also relayed to the jury what she heard her father say in court: “I am sorry. We got into an altercation. I am basically the one who did it. Don’t hate me. I love you.”

Madden was found competent to stand trial in August 2023 but the case was delayed several times, court records show.

The judge refused his requests to represent himself and had him removed from the courtroom in March after he kept yelling despite being told to stop. Deputies then struggled to take him out of the courtroom.

He recently began serving an 11-year prison sentence at a state prison following his conviction of possession of drugs in an unrelated case.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Office caught him with a suitcase of more than 300 grams of methamphetamine in 2021, court records show.

Deputies confiscated the meth but did not arrest Madden in the hopes that he would work with them as a confidential informant and eventually tell them how he obtained the drug, according to a court filing for his appeal.

However, he never contacted them again and they eventually charged him with possessing the drugs.

Madden told Hamilton police when they were investigating his girlfriend’s slaying that someone else did it because there was a bounty on his head for the drugs.

He had a previous felony conviction of aggravated assault in 1988 and was sentenced to serve 3 to 15 years at a maximum security prison in Mansfield, court records show.

A man convicted of killing his longtime girlfriend by stabbing her 55 times had to watch the verdict and participate in his sentencing from another room after repeated outbursts in the courtroom.

Toby Madden was convicted of murder and felonious assault charges in the Oct. 2022 death of Rachelle Brewsaugh at the couple’s home. The 50-year-old victim had been stabbed in the chest, abdomen, head, back, knees, arms, shoulders, and hands.

Madden was sentenced immediately following the verdict to 15 years to life with an added 10 years, meaning he will not be eligible for parole for 25 years.

The couple had been together for 27 years at the time of Brewsaugh’s death. According to documents obtained by Court TV, neighbors reported that the couple had only moved into the house where Brewsaugh died a week before her death.

Madden, who had pleaded not guilty, told police that someone else killed Brewsaugh because the couple had confiscated drugs and there was a bounty on Madden’s head. Court records show that the Butler County Sheriff’s Office caught Madden with a suitcase of 316 grams of methamphetamine in Sept. 2021. He wasn’t indicted on the drug charge until Nov. 2022, shortly after he was arrested for Brewsaugh’s murder.

Toby Madden, now 54, was already serving a prison sentence of 11-16.5 years on the drug charge involving the suitcase of meth. He took the stand in his defense at that trial.

Madden asked to represent himself at the murder trial, but a judge denied that request twice. The defendant, who has gone through at least six defense attorneys in the 23 months the case has been pending, has reportedly been disruptive in court. Back in March, Madden had to be forcibly removed from the courtroom after he threatened to assault his attorney
