Join the Teleconference - Let's not forget about R' Sholom Mordechai!


Lawyers for Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin have filed a petition for a writ of certiorari for the United States Supreme Court. We will simultanoiusly petition on high to the True Judge, Avinu Shebashamaim.
 
Join the Global Women's New Moon Celebration free teleconference. Launched by Omek, the virtual gathering will B"H take place on Sunday 30 Nissan, April 22nd at 8:30 pm E.T. with Shimona Tzukernik. Women are invited to honor and celebrate the gift Hashem gave to the Jewish women, Rosh Chodesh, and to draw down blessing for Sholom Mordechai HaLevi ben Rivka with regard to his appeal to the supreme court. Represented by acclaimed attorneys Paul Clement and Nathan Lewin, Sholom Mordechai asked the high court to review his case because of erroneous rulings by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Foremost among these rulings, the Eighth Circuit in its Sept. 2011 decision refused to consider evidence of judicial and prosecutorial misconduct, discovered after the trial, which rendered the trial unfair. The petition also seeks relief from the Supreme Court for the draconian 27-year sentence imposed by Judge Linda Reade.
 
“This case presents two issues of extraordinary importance to both criminal defendants and the criminal justice system as a whole,” the petition stated. when confronted with the argument that its “probable acquittal” standard makes no sense, the Eighth Circuit refused to budge: even when the new evidence concerns judicial bias or prosecutorial misconduct, it said, to merit a new trial, the evidence must offer compelling proof of the defendant’s innocence.
 
The rule is not only illogical but conflicts with the decisions of the Fourth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits,” the brief attested.
 
 “The Supreme Court will surely recognize how outrageous and unjust Mr. Rubashkin’s prosecution and conviction have been,” said Nathan Lewin who argued the Rubashkin appeal in the Eighth Circuit, and who jointly authored the petition for certiorari with Paul Clement. “The justices will, with G-d’s help, review and reverse the decision so that Sholom will be able to return as soon as possible to his loving family and community.”
 
So l'zechus Sholom Mordechai Halevi ben Rivkah join us - women from around the world, the United States, England, South Africa, Australia, Israel and more - to celebrate Rosh Chodesh Iyar, a month of healing and please G-d, Sholom Mordechai's imminent yeshua.
