A federal judge has denied a motion for a new trial for a former meatpacking executive convicted of financial fraud following an immigration raid on his plant.
Chief U.S. District Judge Linda Reade issued her ruling Wednesday, rejecting the motion filed by the lawyer for Sholom Rubashkin.
Rubashkin was found guilty of 86 financial fraud charges in 2009. He was sentenced to 27 years in prison and was ordered to pay $27 million in restitution.
His attorneys argued that new evidence showed Reade, who presided over the trial, participated in planning of the 2008 raid at Agriprocessors Inc. in Postville and could not be impartial.
Attorney Nathan Lewin said Rubashkin will appeal Reade’s decision.
“For a judge to brush it all away and say it’s not even worth a hearing when there is clear conflict is nothing short of outrageous,” he said. “The law is clear that what she did was wrong.”

the fact than smr is still where he is, its a sign that hashem wants more from us all, yes we increased a lot in unity, and talked a lot about it, we showed we cared, we gave money, we cried, etc. but day to day, but one to another, to friends, spouses.. and lubovs, and all yidin, and the rebbe showed us to respect even non jews, we need to increase..just like when yosef hatzadik held binyomin hostage, the brothers said aval ashemim ANACHNU, but on the same time, vayigash elov yehudah..may hashem take us out of golus now!… Read more »
she is digging herself a big hole. its going to be an amazing turn around in just a little moment. homon tried messing around and ended up on the gallows… the jews celebrated big time!!! but go-d – the time is more than ripe…!!
lets see this unfold
what a horror to happen to one of Lubavitch’s leading families. They set an example for all to follow, in business, ruchnias and gashmias.
I just want you to know that my families’ hearts and tefillos are with you and we firmly believe and expect for a great nahapochu to occur immediately!! I just want to share with you how touching it was for me this summer, while subbing Morah Chani Charitonow’s class, to hear how after davening they said a few lines of Kapittel 51, “lizchus Reb Sholom Mordechai Haleivi Ben Rivkah far a geulah un a yeshua!” And they said it 3x with so much heartfelt kavanah! I thought you and R’ Sholom would like to know this. Hashem won’t be able… Read more »
yes she should be punished but watch your launguag
She can say what she wants, she can even say she hates Pepsi, but the law of the land according to Lewin is written out plainly in view, there is legal binding statutes which Reade MUST adhere to and it’s only a matter of time, hopefully soon, that she’ll be forced to drink Pepsi.
hashem is running this, and we can be sir-tend that he will make a”yisron ohr mitoch hachoshich” that the world wil see SMR innocents and the truth how a good person hi was is and will be. may hashem bring this time the time of mashich now “mamosh”
this is no wast of time according to the law enything that has to do with this case must first go thru her an appeal with out it first going thru the first court WOULD NOT BE CALLED AN ‘APPEAL’ even if the lewyars are %100 sure shes going to refuse thats what there waiting for so that they can appeal, this was there intention now that she deneid she dug herself a deep pit, in a sense this is what nat lewin was waiting for may we merit the imidiet redemption and smrs personal redemption and may linda reade… Read more »
A buncha legal scholars posting here. To all the dumb comments, the motion was going to be denied the moment it was filed, however, it is necessary to file it in order to preserve the issue for appeal. It’s like saying “objection” in court even though the judge told you he/she is going to allow specific evidence. You need to preserve the issue. A motion for a new trial is a standard motion that is made by the defense. It has many different basis which can simply be boiled down to a violation of the defendant’s due process rights. Thus,… Read more »
Post verdict motions go back to the original judge on the case. Judges rarely reverse themselves, usually use motions like this one to present a rationalization for their original ruling. Once the motion is denied, it is brought by the loser to an apppeals court, where hopefully, it will be viewed with fresh eyes. Unfortunately, judges don’t like to overrule one of their fellow judges, but let us hope for the best.
One second, JUSTICE?????
Listen, dont say “nothing we could do about it” because there is. Everyone. If you dont want to do something real, at least say another kapital tehilim.
one thing help tehillim daven with chayos and give sedokah be nice and we are fine
You’re right…!
That is a beautiful Vort! WOW!
yes – reade is a rasha – though we all know where she is headed when she dies no need to use this kind of language here. As far as the lawyers for SMR they are following the steps of what needs to be done. Yes, we regular ppl can not understand why they are shlepping zich but unfortunately their hands are tied. they can not skip steps for if they try & are sent back to step 3 that they skipped it will shlep even longer. the process is – appeal to the judge – only after she straight… Read more »
Not true.She is the harshest Judge in America today.Go to her rating website and see that she gave a first time drug offender 32 years and he was 20 yrs old.She is a rasha.Go listen to what the non Jew ish poloticians..attorney generals say about her.This is all about the fact that he is a Yid.Make no mistake about it
And Hashem hardened his (her) heart!
Maybe she is a Gilgul of him? She certainly behaves like him.
Hashem rescued us then, so to of nowadays He will bring us to the redemption now.
There must be someone higher then her in the judiciary system to appeal too?
Where is the Ombudsman in all this?
A goy has Bchira Chafshis in the area of Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach and Dinim is one of them
Is this the kind of language we use in public? She is not a rosho, just a law and order freak – and if it were a non Jewish Ponzi schemer I’d be all for her kind of sentencing. The problem is politics and bad judgement, not anti-Semitic rishus.
You cant “skip steps”, this is the way the US judicial system works, that’s why appeals are so expensive, that’s why we should all continue donating to the SMR defence fund!!!!!!!
Why would anyone ask Reade at all? Wouldn’t it be proper to go over her head?
How can a judge who was guilty of misconduct by proceeding over a trial that she was precluded from judging BE THE ONE TO DECIDE WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER TRIAL??
She is a goy. She has no Bechira Chafshis.
but the lawyers make money for every hour at every juncture, so why should they skip steps. more time, more pr….
28 is bigematria כח = coach
hashem wants us to realise that this lady has no power and she wont succseed and its just one big test from hashem and he wants us tohave bitochon and stay calm and not, c”v, to use all these BAD WORDS etc. etc.
of course she picks 27 – b’gematria “Zach” pure.
its going to be good! with her not letting him have another trail is all the more evidence aginst her! shes bringing it upon herself! we gottaa be happy!
instead of just fealing bad about it
and cursing her out,
do somthing!!!
(at least another kapitul tihilim!)
we need more action. obviously we are listening to action but are we doing anything other then buying rubber bands that say, “In honor of SMR”???? N-O
26 is the shaim havaya and she thinks shes higher then G-D
#18 is right! The greater the hight the greater the fall-just to bad she cant see these comments now. Who does hse think she is??? again, #18, your right, get ready for Simcha!
If the reason they wanted a new trial was because they felt the judge was not impartial, why is this very same judge making the ruling? Of course she was going to say no. Can someone explain to me why they can’t go to a higher court for this appeal?
Did you really expect her to rule otherwise? If you did you’re a fool .She would never say she made a mistake or she was wrong.She helped facilitate this railroad fraudulent conviction & only a higher authority can overturn this travesty.
everybody out there dont worry fellows! all the more stubborn all greater the fall! chassidim WILL prevail ! just wait and see! look forward to the SIMCHA!
I HATE YOU!!!
I was wondering the same thing, And i was gonna write the dame excact comment! whats with her and 27??!! :\
totaly agree with #1! like everyone elsse said she shuld burn in hell just like hitler yemach shmom, hamn and all the anti semites!
Shetamut hayom!
in this case, in order to move on they first needed her to say no, no one expects different. It is our messed up system that wastes time and money that has it stay in her court.
Wow, I cant believe she would not allow for a new trial, well lets see, 27 million, 27 years, on Oct 27 she says no. I wonder what she has with the number 27?
yeah, i agree. burn in hell and beyond. just like hitler, yemach shemom. go to hell! get out of here! Freakin Rasha, all she knows is evil
I was just about to write the same comment…shes a rasha
hashem yerachem she should burn just like the arabs and hitler yimah shimum burn in hellll
How can she rule on this when she is the conflict?
what a sick joke, of course she will say no new trial, it shouldn’t be up to her to decide
What did anyone think she was going to say???? Go ahead have a new trial because I was wrong?? Waste of time, go to the people who will make a difference !
can’t wait to see that!
she’s gonna burn in hell
