Cindy Schulz-Juedes
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — A Chippewa Falls woman accused of killing her husband in 2006 is set to go to trial this October in a Marathon County courtroom.
A final pre-trial hearing was conducted on Monday for Cindy Schulz-Juedes during which both sides went over housekeeping ranging from health and safety procedures for the trial to statements made by the defendant.
The trial is scheduled to begin on October 11th and run through November 12th.
Marathon County Judge Michael Moran will oversee the proceedings. Schulz-Juedes faces a single count of first-degree intentional homicide, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison with only the possibility of parole to be discussed at sentencing.

Officers believe if Schulz-Juedes committed the crime it could have been to get at nearly $1 million in life insurance money and various other assets. She told police she couldn’t find a copy of Kenneth’s will following his death, but later said she found it in a wedding album. Handwriting experts raised questions about the authenticity of his signature on the document, and the attorney listed says it wasn’t written in the normal format used by their office.
Additionally, neighbors described her as distraught but not crying at the time of the incident. Police added that she showed “little emotion” while being interviewed about the case.
