The former owner of Peanut Corporation of America was sentenced in federal court on Monday to 28 years in prison for his role in a salmonella outbreak that was linked to nine deaths.
In a rare case of criminal prosecution linked to food contamination, Stewart Parnell, the former owner of Peanut Corporation of America, and his brother, Michael Parnell, who was a food broker on behalf of the company, were convicted on federal conspiracy charges in September 2014 for knowingly shipping salmonella-tainted peanuts to customers.
Contamination at the company’s plant in Blakely, Georgia, led to one of the largest food recalls in U.S. history and forced the company into liquidation.

I wonder which one of his masonic brothers or satanic handlers he offended to become one of the quintillionth of public servant evil-doers to actually be persecuted.
Mr. Spock Sez: “Sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”. Apparently Mr. Parnell is the representative of the “Needs of the Few” crowd…. or he has been given a new identity, and will be living the life of Reilly so the ruse can play on.
Death To The New World Order;
We Shall Prevail.
