No Ruling Yet in Rubashkin Case
An attorney for a former Iowa kosher slaughterhouse executive convicted of financial fraud says he’s “hopeful” Sholom Rubashkin will get a new trial.
The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis heard arguments Wednesday. Attorney Guy Cook says the court took the case under advisement.
Rubashkin, a former Agriprocessors Inc. manager, was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 27 years in prison. His arrest followed an immigration raid at the company’s Postville plant in 2008.
Rubashkin sought a new trial claiming Chief U.S. District Court Judge Linda Reade, who presided over his trial, couldn’t be impartial and should have recused herself because she participated in the planning of the raid.
Sean Berry, a spokesman with the U.S. attorney’s office, says prosecutors would not comment on Wednesday’s hearing.

If the banks claim money is owed,why not let the operation continue and allow him to make pay-ments?Its not like an operation like that could not continue to make pay-ments.
What is being gained by cutting off his ability to make payments?Its not like Shlomo is refusing to make pay-ments.
Its not like he was out to destroy innocent lives.So let him make payments.This smells of anti-semitism.
