Pretrial motions in the Kings County murder case of Dave Hawk, accused of killing his ex-wife, are scheduled to begin July 20.

Debbie Hawk disappeared June 13, 2006. Her body never has been found, although her van was found abandoned in a southwest Fresno neighborhood with stolen license plates and her blood inside. Her ex-husband became the prime suspect, and he was arrested about two years later.

Jury selection is set for July 27 and testimony is scheduled to start Aug. 10.

On Thursday, Judge Daniel Creed denied a claim by Hawk's lawyers that the district attorney violated Hawk's attorney-client privilege rights by peering at legal documents found on his home computer.
