MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee County judge bound over Ronald Jones for trial on Monday, July 15 — after testimony was heard during a preliminary hearing. Jones then pleaded not guilty to the single charge against him.

Jones, 55, is charged with one count of first degree reckless homicide in the death of 78-year-old Bernice Kadwit. Kadwit died on July 7, 2001 at 57th and Vienna.

For 18 years, Milwaukee police called it a sudden death case. But recently, the Milwaukee Police Department Cold Case Unit used DNA evidence to link the crime to Jones.
