Man faces charges in fatality of former PBL student

KENOSHA, Wis. – A Wisconsin man charged with homicide by negligent driving for the death of a 2006 Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School graduate waived a preliminary hearing in Kenosha County Circuit Court on Wednesday.

"It means my client made the decision not to require the state to put evidence on to prove probable cause," said Kenosha attorney Jason Rossell, who has been appointed by the court to defend Thomas J. Sillcocks, 37, of Kenosha. "Because of the waiver, the court found probable cause existed and said the state may go forward to trial if necessary."
