Eddie Munster Called To Testify In Colby Murder Trial

(Ronny Reyes, Dailymail.com) -The murder trial of a Colby woman took a bizzare turn at one point when a child actor from The Munsters was called to testify.

The child actor who played werewolf Eddie Munster in the 1960s sitcom The Munsters denied that he was involved in a 2006 murder in Wisconsin after the defendant in the murder trial claimed he was one of five killers. Butch Patrick Lilley, 68, was accused by Cindy Schulz-Juedes, 67, of being one of five people who allegedly shot and killed her husband, Ken Juedes, 58, in the couple's home.  Lilley, who met the couple at the Monster Hall Raceway in 2006, denied allegations that he was involved in the murder, and said he did not even know he was accused of the murder until six years after the incident, WSAW reported. I was in the process of booking an event when someone says, "Have you seen the National Inquirer today?" I said, "No," and when I looked it up I noticed I was on the cover with the headline that says "Munster Murder Bombshell at Monster Hall" and that's how I found out about my... supposedly my involvement in it,' Lilley said on Monday. 

Although Lilley admitted to drinking and doing cocaine with the other men accused of the murder, he said he had not been impaired on the night of Juedes' death and was traveling at the time, but he could not say for certain where he was. He also said the article and allegations cost him contracts. 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.
