Rubashkin Posts Bail, Freed from Jail

DUBUQUE, IA [KCRG] — The former head of the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant in Postville is out of jail.

Sholom Rubashkin posted bail a day after a judge set it at $500,000 dollars.

Rubashkin was held without bail since November after prosecutors argued he was a flight risk.

But his attorneys appealed, saying precautions could be taken to ensure he does not flee before his September trial.

Ruabshkin faces many federal charges after hundreds of illegal immigrants were found to be working at the Postville plant back in May.

    Baruch Hashem! We are all so happy that you are out of there. You should never see the inside of a jail again! Amen

    For sure the Gov does not have to keep an eye on him.
    The bail bond posters will do that 24-7.
