Judge Rejects Plea and Supports Defendant in Mail Theft Case
U.S. District Judge Edward J. McManus rejected a government plea and allowed an innocent plea for a former Osage postal worker charged with stealing mail. The judge urged negotiations to reinstate the man, who raised $112,008 in pension losses tied to retirement plans. The case, described as unusual by the judge and “catastrophe” by the defendant’s lawyer, centers on a $2.50 letter used as bait by postal inspectors. The man, Klaberdanz, 53, previously served from 1944 until resigning in July, earning $15,300 yearly with extended sick leave and a frozen pension awaiting age 62.
