GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A Pittsfield man accused of killing his wife in 2013 has now been ordered to stand trial.
James Prokopovitz was charged with the murder of his wife, Victoria, following a secret John Doe hearing earlier this year. Her body has never been found.
Prokopovitz waived a preliminary hearing Thursday and is set to return to court on November 25th. His attorney says there are plea discussions with prosecutors, but did not release further details.
Kathryn Friday, who was dating James at the time of Victoria’s disappearance, also faces charges in the case. She is accused of lying during the John Doe hearing. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for October 28th. No trial date has been set for her.
