Disbarred Denver attorney Steve Bachar skipped his sentencing hearing in his felony theft case Friday and is now wanted on a warrant, court records show.
It was not clear Monday why Bachar, who was
, did not show up to be sentenced in Denver District Court. A call to his cellphone went straight to voicemail Monday and he did not return a message left seeking comment.to one count of felony theft and a second count of misdemeanor theft as part of a plea agreement in which he received a deferred judgment on the felony charge — that is, the felony will be wiped from his record if he meets court-set conditions for the next two years.
Bachar would have received probation on the misdemeanor count as part of the plea deal. But any violation of the terms of the deferred judgment triggers harsher penalties, and if such a violation is found, Bachar faces between two and 12 years in prison. Bachar’s failure to appear Friday should not affect the terms of his deferred judgment because it hasn’t yet been finalized, said Carolyn Tyler, a spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors expect Bachar to appear in court Friday to address his warrant, then proceed to sentencing on Friday as well.
