Judge gives former Utah AG more time

A U.S. District Court judge is giving a former Utah attorney general a little more time to try to prove he is owed money because his civil rights were violated. 

Yesterday, the judge told the lawyer for former AG Mark Shurtleff that he was ready to throw the case out. 

However, the judge said he would give Shurtleff one last chance to show that investigators and prosecutors lied to obtain warrants that ultimately led to Shurtleff being charged for public corruption in 2014. 

The charges were dropped in 2016, leading Shurtleff to file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Salt Lake County D.A. Sim Gill as well as investigators for both the state and the FBI.
