Editor’s note: This article has been edited in order to claify that Deputy District Attorney Ron Linthicum is not Sacramento County’s district attorney. Sacramento County’s district attorney is Jan Scully.

Julio Velazquez appeared in court again today only to have the proceedings postponed again ?” this time to May 9. Donald Heller, Velazquez’s attorney, said he is expecting a resolution on or before then.

Heller would not comment on the possibility of a plea bargain or give any other comment.

Frank Meyer, the prosecuting attorney, was not in court today and Heller told the judge the two had talked before and agreed to postpone the proceedings. Meyer had not returned calls from the Hornet by press time.

Velazquez is charged with 16 felonies including false pretenses, forgery, and grand theft. Court documents state that Velazquez forged Associated Students Inc. checks and later cashed them, taking the money for himself. In all, he is accused of taking more than $18,000.

Deputy District Attorney Ron Linthicum said Velazquez could face up to three years in prison if convicted of the main count, charging that he took $18,125.

Velazquez, who served as both executive vice president (2003-05) and vice president of finances (fall 2005), did not comment. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in May.

Velazquez has now appeared in court three times – first for his arraignment on Feb 2, then for a postponement of proceedings on Feb. 16, and again today.
