Federal prosecutors are expected to go back to a grand jury on Wednesday — one day before a planned trial — to seek yet another amended indictment of embattled ex-Utah Transit Authority board member Terry Diehl.
The expected new indictment would leave the politically connected developer charged with only one criminal count, down from the 14 he once faced and a number that has changed three times over the past 29 days.
The revelation is tucked into U.S. District Court papers filed by the defense late Tuesday that blast the government for using “bait and switch” tactics against Diehl by charging him with crimes they knew the evidence wouldn’t prove and then dropping the counts.
