Friends of Justice: Urges senate committee to vote no on Rose

11/4/2009

Accountability or Promotion for Federal Postville Prosecutor?

The nomination of Stephanie Rose to be the new United States Attorney for the Northern District of Iowa is just plain wrong.

It has been reported that the Senate Judicial Committee will vote on her nomination on Thursday, November 5, 2009.

As Deputy Criminal Chief, Stephanie Rose helped execute the unprecedented use of expedited trials and exploding plea agreements to convict 306 undocumented workers at the Postville.

At the time of the Postville Prosecutions, Rose was not a low ranking member of the office but was in a leadership position as third in charge in the office for criminal prosecutions.

Earlier this year, Stephanie Rose was asked about her role at Postville. Even in hindsight, she defended the raid and prosecutions saying “executing the massive operation required amazing effort and a ton of good work.â€
