CEDAR CITY -- A lawyer accused of bilking the relatives of victims of a deadly plane crash has pleaded not guilty to felony charges.
During an appearance in 5th District Court on Thursday, court records said that Matthew Terry Graff, 38, waived his preliminary hearing on a pair of second-degree felony counts of unlawful dealing of property. His attorney, Greg Skordas, entered the plea on his behalf.
Graff represented the husbands of two women who died in a plane crash last year near Moab. Ten people died in that crash. Graff is accused of depositing settlement funds from a lawsuit into his private bank account, but spending the money elsewhere.
Graff is due in court again on Sept. 4.
