Taylor Sanchez
FOND Du LAC, WI (WSAU) — The woman convicted of killing Cindy Schulz Juedes will be sentenced on Monday.
Taylor Sanchez pleaded no contest to the crime back in June after choosing to withdraw her previous plea of not guilty by mental disease or defect. She was then found guilty by a Judge, avoiding a jury trial.
Sanchez told investigators she was off her medications and had been “hearing voices” that were telling her to kill the 69-year-old. She said she hit Schulz-Juedes with her hands and feet, which was confirmed by autopsy results. Her cause of death was listed as head trauma.
Schulz-Juedes was found guilty of killing Ken Juedes and sentenced to life in prison in 2022. Juedes died in 2006, but it wasn’t until 2019 that Schulz-Juedes was arrested and charged in connection with the case.
Prosecutors charged her as a party to the crime, meaning they don’t believe she acted alone. However, no one else has been arrested or charged in connection with Ken’s death. She had been preparing an appeal at the time of her death.
Sanches faces life in prison at Monday’s sentencing, which is scheduled to begin at 9 AM at the Fond Du Lac County Courthouse.
