As the sentencing date for Sholom M. Rubashkin draws closer the following two letters were sent to judge Linda R. Reade, who presided over the case, and is up to her discretion whether to impose the life sentence that the prosecution recommended. Both letters highlight the disproportion of the requested sentence in comparison to the crime Sholom M. was convicted of.

Why is it ‘at her discretion’? Aren’t there checks & balances in place in the US? When someone in authority seems to be making a big mistake you go over their head and turn to someone else. This is not an autocratic monarchy and there were surely many other officials in positions of higher authority who could have interceded.

Why are the “shluchim” silent???
Why are they not mounting a united effort to use thier thier connections in the government to put pressure on this judge to be fair and just under US law?
Are they afraid of getting thier “noses dirty”?
If you can’t take a lesson from history, what good are you?

Firstly the Shluchim are not “silent” work is being done, and has been done from the begining by “the shluchim.
secondly unfurtanatly it is her discretion, as the sentencing guidlines allow her to sentence him R”L to life, altough he is a first time offender, and did not take any money, (the charge is he forged invoices to relate a higher income so that the buisiness line of credit should remaine high.)
