A U.S. District Court judge has moved the trial of four former managers of a kosher slaughterhouse from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Sioux Falls, S.D.
Judge Linda Reade ruled today that the “prodigious” amount of negative pretrial publicity about Agriprocessors, Inc., and former top manager Sholom Rubashkin caused potential jurors to develop a bias against them.
The trial has been set for Oct. 13.
The order filed Tuesday was the second victory for Rubashkin’s defense team, who earlier asked for and received a month’s delay in the trial.
Rubashkin and three co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to immigration, bank fraud, wire fraud and mail fraud charges.
Agriprocessors was the subject of a massive immigration raid in 2008.
Hashem set sholom completely free.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
b’h.. may hashem bless the rubaskins for all the amazing work that they have done for Jewish people to have kosher food.
I was in the Carribean Islands last year for shlichus and we found Rubaskins chicken, there are only 20 yidden on the Island, yet they found it nesscary to send down chicken from Iowa so a few yidden can have kosher chicken.
Hatzlacha rabba.
