State prosecutors have trimmed bribery charges against Mark Shurtleff, a former Utah attorney general who spent six months as a partner at Troutman Sanders after leaving office in 2013. But Shurtleff could still face as many as 30 years in prison for allegedly accepting bribes and improper gifts.
On Monday, Davis County District Attorney Troy Rawlings filed a revised list of charges against Shurtleff that differs from the original charges brought by the state last year. The revised list excludes three bribery counts as well as a charge that Shurtleff’s decision to accept a job at Troutman Sanders impaired his judgment as a civil servant.
