Washington – An order list released this morning by the Supreme Court detailing which cases would be heard during its upcoming term did not include the Rubashkin case, leaving many wondering what that omission might mean.
“Nothing can be determined at this point in time,” Rubashkin’s lawyer, attorney Nathan Lewin told VIN News. “The court practice is that the judges come back from the summer, have a secret conference, and they list the cases they agree to hear. They will come back on Monday and only then will we find out what this means for our case.”
The fact that the Rubashkin case did not appear on today’s order list does not mean the case was denied. A list of all cases that have been denied will be posted by the Supreme Court on Monday.
According to Lewin, if the case was not denied, there are two other potential outcomes.
“There are cases that the Supreme Court sets aside in order for further study,” explained Lewin. “It could be that the case is being looked into more closely or that the judges want to hear more details. In that case, a determination could be made on Monday or at some future point in the future.”
A list of cases being considered for further review will be made available on Monday.
Alternately, the Supreme Court may decide not to hear the case, deciding instead to write a short opinion indicating that the court of appeals needs to revisit the issue of Judge Linda Reade’s involvement with prosecutors, a question that to date, the court of appeals has categorically refused to consider.
“That is our main procedural question,” said Lewin. “The only issue that can be raised after a trial based on newly discovered evidence is whether or not a defendant is innocent, not whether or not the judge in a case was unfair. The Supreme Court may not want to take the case because of the obvious mistake that was made here.”

thats not our business. while it is very righteous for a person to say “my suffering is due to my misconduct” at the same time it is equally IMMORAL to say “the other persons suffering is because of his behavior.” IMMORAL. our job and right is to consider the other a Tzadik, and demand justice from Hashem. Review your facts, sorry.
Mr Lewin, if they refuse to hear it then we must take the case to the European Courts of Human Rights which the USA is a signatory or campaighn now to pressure Obama to pardon him. It must start now. We need a million man march on the write House for Justice for Sholom Modcha
DAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!! everybody please daven and say tehillim for him if your not doing so already!!
I think he’s an anti semite
And have the one “offended”mochel him with out him asking
No one is judging. This is a super bizarre case and if indeed there may be something spiritual that may be blocking all bederch hateva efforts, why would it be so hard to ask mechilah? All k’lal Yisroel wants to see this man back home with his family.
Yom Kipur only works after asking Mechila.
So says the Shulchan Aruch.
now that it’s after Yom Kippur, I hope you did teshuvah! Please don’t bring up more reasons for this man and family has to suffer for even 1 second. Let’s not judge each other. We asked HaShem to have mercy on us, and that includes Shalom Mordechai. Didan Netzach already!
Isn’t it obvious that no matter how hard we try get proper justice, we keep failing and we are always turned down in this case, that it points to a Gezera Milmaala which is A Siba Ruchnius which is causing justice to be denied.
It was suggested by great Gedolim, that this Gezera can be annulled if he asks Mechila by the Rab whom he snubbed, concerning the CHK Hechsher, where the Hechsher was given only by 1 Rav while the other opposed it but was ignored.
this year is (5773) “Tehe Shnas Alias haGeuloh” !!!
may we hear just good news!!!
hashem yirachem already!
