Jared Snyder pleaded guilty to stealing from the baseball program he ran until 2014, officials said. His sentencing was first postponed in Nov. 2016 while he completed 300 hours of community service and worked to pay back more than $14,000 in restitution.

But at a Wednesday sentencing hearing, Snyder’s case was again put on hold for unknown reasons. He will return for sentencing Nov. 14, officials said.

During the 10-month investigation, evidence was gathered that showed Snyder was submitting fraudulent reimbursement forms to the Valencia High School ASB, officials stated.

Snyder was placed on leave in March 2014, and later replaced by Michael Killinger, who’s currently the head coach.

Snyder coached the program from 1998 to 2014. Mike Killinger, a former assistant of Snyder’s, was hired as head baseball coach in May 2014 to replace him.

  1. Ok if I have this right: he pleaded guilty to grand theft over 14,000, in 2016, did community service (?) and worked to pay this stolen money back. Again his sentencing is put on hold ? For what? 2 years later? Am I the only one who doesn’t understand how one can commit a crime, pleads guilty and not be sentenced? Really?

  2. Why does this take so long
