Rubashkin doesn’t deserve new trial, government says

The former day-to-day manager at a Postville meatpacking plant should not receive a new trial, argue U.S. prosecutors, because the evidence his attorneys have presented as being new is nothing of the sort.

Sholom M. Rubashkin was sentenced to 27 years in prison in June after being convicted by a federal jury of more than 80 fraud-related charges last fall.
