Jurors reached the verdict Monday in the second day of deliberations after a nearly monthlong trial in Waterloo.
Rubashkin had been charged with 67 counts of child labor violations involving 26 teenagers from Guatemala and Mexico who worked at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville in 2007 and 2008.
Rubashkin will be sentenced June 22 in federal court for separate fraud convictions in connection with bank loans his company received.
Agriprocessors was the site of a May 2008 immigration raid in which 389 workers were arrested.
Please HASHEM make everything turn out for the best!

Hekksher tsedek, the Forward, etc, etc, have egg all over their face.
question is how, if at all ,does this affect the federal bank case?

Jury In The Iowa-State Child Labor Case Decided That Rubashkin Isn’t Guilty
Keep On Praying For The Hatzlucha In The Federal Case (June.22)
Could this have an impact on the other case?
Simon Tov ooh Mazal Tov Yeehay.
ברוך השם שלא עזב חסדו מאתו
Boruch Hashem for this verdict. We need to ask rachamei Shomayim for the Federal sentencing. Sholom Mordechai HaLevi ben Rivkah.
Thank You “Aibishter”
wow b”h wonderful news
all from yiddushe tefillis
Yeilchu michoyil el Choyil.
we need to keep up the tefillos !!!! it helps
now we have to do the last steps with much more efferd by tehilim giving tzedoke and masim tovim and the askonim in the case sould york even harder now and every body should support them they are doing a good good job.
Hopefully he will win all charges, and they restore his business the way it was before they destroyed it, plus compensation
Amazing!!!!
This just shows the wickedness of the prosecution
Baruch Hashem!!
I am certain, that if the original
Trial would be held now, after the absurdeties of the charges as they relate directly to SMR, were seen,
He would never have been found guilty.
To explain:
That mistakes etc were made In agri is obvious, but to the extent that SMR personally is responsible and personally wanted them to happen and personally gain is now obvious to all that this was not the case.
Contrast that to the myriad of other white collar criminals whe were personally responsible and personally gained
פתחו לי פתח כחודו של מחט, הפתח להישועה כבר נפתחו ויה”ר ש’שלום מרדכי בן רבקה הלוי יצא לחירות בב”א
May this be a beginning and shed light of what all these accusations are really all about!!
i dont understand were are all the dina dmalchusa dina lovers-jew haters
This looks like a very fair verdict from the Jury.
In following the trial, the Prosecution never was able to establish a direct knowledge of underage employment on his part.
(Side note: Iowa has changed the law, as of July 1st, the standard for violating the law will include “wilfull ignorance” [i.e. deliberately not checking information]).
Beautiful to see Klal Yisroel united upon receiving good news. May we continue to unite around good news and may HKBH continue to bestow his mercy upon all of Klal Yisroel including the ultimate mercy Moshiach Tzidkeinu Bimheira Vyameinu Mamesh
