No. 25 yrs.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

No. 25 yrs.

So this is not accurate?

Rubashkin's sentencing hearing took place on April 28–29 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Prosecutors asked Judge Reade to impose a life sentence. After that request came under fire from former Justice Department officials, including six former Attorneys General, one former solicitor general and more than a dozen former United States attorneys, Assistant U.S. Attorney Pete Deegan said in court that the government would seek 25 years, while the defense asked for no more than six years.

I don’t have facts of the story 100% but I know another yid was in court there a couple yrs later. And someone mentioned that we’ll get you like we got rabashkin. I highly doubt it was the judge but I think it was the prosecutor or someone like that

If that is indeed fact, then yes, the prosecutors were/are blatant antisemites.

Why would you make such a statement? You lose all credibility.

Life sentence?

For what?

This wasn't a Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme.

Yes, it was bank fraud. Does one get a life sentence for $27MM Bank Fraud? I am not going to do any research on this, I will let you do it. Please let me know of similar cases where a life sentence was sought.

They could just be hard nose prosecutors. My guess is from the little I read it has to do with the child labor charges the Feds dropped after this conviction.

if so, i stand corrected.

If you are going to make a claim someone is an anti-Semite you should have some facts to back it up. If you are going to condemn her then you need to condemn our entire legal system. All the way to the SC agreed with her.

J'accuse, baby

Couldn't have stated it better. Put the whole story in one potent word!
