Firm Head Appeals Conviction in Poultry Fraud Case
Ray Friedman, 38, president of the American Produce Company, appealed his five year federal prison term to the Eighth Circuit in St Louis. He remains free on bond as the appeal may not be heard until October. A judge refused to let him withdraw his guilty plea to defrauding the government by shipping inferior poultry to the armed forces. Friedman said he was induced to plead guilty by his attorney who said the charge was minor and would likely involve only a fine.
