Ceder Rapids, IA – The sentencing hearing in the Rubashkin case is expected to last until at least the end of the day on Thursday. U.S. District Court Judge Linda R. Reade said Wednesday that she would consider the statements of those who testify and render a judgment “three to four weeks” after the hearing.

Several former business partners and family members testified Wednesday that Rubashkin wasn’t ultimately responsible for mistakes made at the plant.
is this good or bad ?
Hashem giving us more time to be mispalel, hope him all the best
I guess its good. The fact that she’s taking time a least suggests that she’s considering lessening the sentence.
the reason the immagration charges where dropped is becasue rubashkin is not the one that flaseified the documents it was some supervisors

this is the original documents filed by ICE on the raid and why they got the warrant it’s worth it to read to understand the case and the website it’s on was created by the union to destroy rubashkin
I belive that its a positive sign and the judge is taking everything into consideration before she comes to a final decision, cos if she wanted to CV’ throw the book at him she would have done it today…
Three weeks of ulcers, high blood pressure, and elevated testosterone levels all around. It might be best to ignore the shouting. None of it will have any impact on the judge’s decision. All it will do is make Jews hate each other.
Its amazing what teffilos can do, let’s keep up with our teffilos
Why does this sound so similiar to the mendel beilis trial?
כיון דאידחי אידחי
Let him go free he suffered more than enough. give him what he deserves to GO FREE may we all go free from this harsh gules to geuolah with moshich now. amen
i just googled a rating on this judge http://www.therobingroom.com/RatingListing.aspx?ID=1305 ,she always sides with the gov. . sbr needs big rachmim.
I think that this is good news. It seems that she was all set to give him life in prison and then saw the outcry from all the former attorney generals, judges and other prominent lawyers and has to change everything to fit the reduced sentence she’s going to give Rubashkin.
He has more time to relect and to show REMORSE. Write a letter NOW and tell the judge you are SORRY.
It is probably not a good sign.
If SMR supporters packed the courtroom (which they did) and the judge fears a possible riot will ensue, the Judge can delay the sentence and later submit a written sentence rather then pronounce sentence in the courtroom.
The biggest thing going aganst SMR is … SMR.
His refusal to admit guilt, make restitution or provide financial information which could benefit the court in finding restitution, and the overwhelming support of a community that denies his guilt all point to a decision not favorable to SMR.
Remember one of the purposes of incarceration is to deter others from doing similar things. When an entire community supports a crook and turns a blind eye to his chilul hashem, you can be sure the court will take notice and want to send them a message that this will not be tolerated in a midinat shel chesed. I certainly do not think he deserves life in prison and pray he will not receive such a harsh sentence. But he is going to get substantial time behind bars.
Kol Akavah Letovah!
What is funny here the news keeps saying 86 counts of fraud did they ever bother to read what the counts where? he was charged for every draw he made on the line of credit in question =14 counts. 13 charges every time the bank recertified the loan
this list goes on he was charged with one bank loan 86 times
Your political analysis is flawless, just like your grammar, spelling, logic and legal acumen.
what is a “judges arbituary”? Did you mean “Judge’s obituary”?
