Marshall Jarrett wrote. “The district court and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals have determined that Mr. Rubashkin is a flight risk.”</p> <p>Rubashkin, the former manager of the Agriprocessors kosher meat plant in Postville, Iowa, was convicted of 86 counts of financial fraud last November and ordered held pending sentencing.  In January, a coalition of rabbis wrote to the attorney general asking for reconsideration of the case, arguing that his release is a humanitarian issue. <em>— jta </em></p>
