Judge rules no bail for plant manager Rubashkin
November 20, 2009 16:34 EST
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- A federal judge has ruled that a convicted former kosher slaughterhouse manager must remain in jail until his sentencing.
U.S. District Court Judge Linda Reade ruled Friday that former Agriprocessors, Inc., manager Sholom Rubashkin is a flight risk and must stay in jail until he is sentenced on 86 counts of financial fraud.
Reade hasn't set a sentencing date.
Rubashkin was allowed out on bail before his trial, but Reade has ruled that he presents a greater flight risk now that he's been convicted.
His lawyers have asked Reade to toss out that verdict, claiming prosecutors violated rules set by the judge.
Rubashkin was convicted on the financial fraud counts last week in a set of charges that followed an immigration raid at the Agriprocessors plant in May 2008.
