Retired Placer County Sheriff’s Sgt. Paul Kovacich is due back in superior court in Auburn next Wednesday morning for more motions in connection with the charges that he shot his wife Janet to death in 1982 and dumped her body in Rollins Reservoir northeast of Colfax.

The motions are expected to include a request by Kovacich’s deputy public defender that the date for his trial, now set for early March, be postponed. They also might include a request for a change of venue for the trial.

Kovacich, 58, remains free on $1.5 million bail. He was arrested on a grand jury murder indictment in September of 2006.
