After the murder trial in which he was accused of being one of five murderers, the defendant in the case against him claimed that Eddie Munster, a child actor, denied that he was involved with a Wisconsin murder in 2006.
Cindy Schulz Juedes,67, accused Butch Patrick Lilley (68) of being one among five people who allegedly shot her husband Ken Juedes,58, in their home.
Lilley, who met the couple in 2006 at the Monster Hall Raceway, denied that he was involved. He also said that he did not know he was a suspect until six year after the incident, WSAW reported.
“I was booking an event and someone asked me if I had seen the National Inquirer today. I replied, “No”, and then I noticed that I was on the cover of the National Inquirer today. That headline said “Munster Murder Bombshell At Monster Hall”. And that’s how Lilley revealed that I had learned about my… supposedly involvement in it.”
Despite the allegations, the Marathon County jurors found Schulz-Juedes guilty on Wednesday of killing her husband in August 2006 as prosecutors argued she did so in order to cash in on his $1 million life insurance policy.
Schulz-Juedes claimed Lilley, four other men, and Juedes were responsible for the murder of Juedes in revenge for a 2006 lawsuit. This lawsuit cost Lilley tens to thousands of dollars in investments into a brewery business.
