The arraignment for one-time
PCC nursing student Isaac Camp¬
bell, suspected in the killing of for¬
mer PCC student Liya Jessie Lu,
will be held on April 1 at the
Alhambra Courthouse.
Campbell’s case was postponed
due to the tardiness of receiving
the Coroner’s report, said Judge
Carlos Uranga, during a hearing
on Feb. 28.
The Coroner’s report, which
contains the information on Lu’s
cause of death, will be available at
the arraignment, explained Public
Defender James Duffy, who is
representing Campbell.
“We were supposed to have the
Coroner’s report already,” said
Deputy District Attorney and Pros¬
ecutor Steve Ipson. “I do not know
why it is taking so much time. It is
not normal to be that long.”

PCC Faces
State Budget
Uncertainty
Officials say that reserves are
healthy Job cuts not anticipated.

The projected deficit in the state budget of $16.5 billion for the 2008-09
fiscal year has caused much concern for the PCC community, in particu¬
lar the students and faculty, according to PCC’s Vice President of Admin¬
istrative Services, Kindred Murillo.
In light of these predicaments, Murillo gave the PCC community a
boost of confidence. "Our reserves are quite healthy right now. We can get
through 1 8 months of budget cuts without affecting our students if we are
prudent with our spending," said Murillo.
