Attorneys for Austin Holzer will ask in October that the 17-year-old accused of killing Mesa County Sheriff's Deputy Derek Geer be returned to the juvenile system - six months after Holzer's 18th birthday. Mesa County District Judge Richard Gurley on Thursday set three days of hearings in the fall to deal with a hearing in which he will be asked to reverse the charging of Holzer as an adult; hear arguments about whether the evidence against Holzer is so overwhelming that he is ineligible for bond; and conduct a preliminary hearing.
