Dig deeper:
In early November, a Milwaukee County judge agreed to postpone a plea and sentencing hearing for Ward. It was the seventh last-minute delay in three years. The case had been set for a jury trial three times and for plea and sentencing four times. The defense requested five of those dates be delayed, often at the very last minute.
What's next:
Ward is scheduled to be sentenced in February 2026.
Milwaukee hit-and-run, revoked driver's case postponed – again
A Milwaukee County judge agreed to postpone a plea and sentencing for the revoked driver who is accused of hit-and-run back in 2022.
Revoked driver
The backstory:
Ward was 27 years old when prosecutors said he drove his maroon Acura TL into Tina Feiertag as she tried to cross near 16th and Lincoln. It happened on Sept. 21, 2022.
Since the crash, Ward has been caught behind the wheel time and time again – continuing to drive illegally with a revoked license. He has been free on cash bail each time.

Police let Ward go every time he was stopped. In Wisconsin, driving while revoked is not a crime – no matter how many times you get caught.
Kenosha County deputies tried to find a reason to arrest Ward last year. They couldn't, because the judge who set Ward's bail never made no more driving a condition of his release.
