Linda Reade in the Judiacial profession is the exact equivalent to Bernie Madoff in the Financial Investments profession. They both deserve to live out their lives in one cell ane never allowed to wash their bodies.

Terribly biased! How dare she preside as an impartial judge on a case where she was envolved in the raid to put the man in jail in the 1st place.

The Honorable Judge Linda Reade; rather the DISHONORABLE judge Linda Reade. Shame on you. Your true colors are coming to light. Disgraceful! What a wicked witch!

New documents show Linda Reade, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, was involved in the planning of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raid on the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plant at least six months before it occurred in May 2008. She asked for briefings from law enforcement and went as far as to ensure the raid was conducted around her vacation schedule. But the judge never said a word of this to the defense lawyers for Sholom Rubashkin, the Agriprocessors manager, when she presided over his trial on bank fraud. She didn’t recuse herself from the case, either.

YOU should be given a life sentence for disgracing the legal system of the United States. YOU should be cursed for causing so much grief to hard working, respectable US citizens.

There is nothing more to say down here on this earth. This judge will be severely punished in many ways. Her payback is awaiting her. Look at the amount of negative ratings District Judge Hon. Linda R. Reade has got. These ratings are from all sorts of people from every religion from all across the nation. If I would have to DEFINE the words cruel and unjust, Hon. Linda R. Reade would be a perfect example. When her own day of judgment will come in the heavenly courts, she will have no one to defend her.
