After years in the spotlight for risky business deals and cozy relationships with Utah power brokers, developer Terry Diehl will stand trial on Monday for just one thing: allegedly lying in a bankruptcy filing in 2012.
Diehl is charged in Salt Lake City’s U.S. District Court with one felony count of making a false statement. It’s all that’s left in a case the once brought 14 felony charges against him.
Still, the remaining count is a serious allegation — and Diehl maintains his innocence — that could result in a five-year federal prison term if a jury finds him guilty.
