The weeks that followed the indictment of former executives of America’s Peanut Corporation revolved around Stewart Parnell, former chief executive. Parnell made a demand for his United States passport in order to be able to work internationally. He was also for the attorney who served as his daughter’s representative to be on his defense team regardless of whether it had the possibility of conflict of interest. Parnell is cooling down as significant pre-trial events take place. Four of the executives were indicted and charged with felony counts that added up to a total of 76.
Mary Wilkerson is one of the accused executives and she was PCA’s quality assurance manager in Blakely’s processing plant. While the felony counts are 76 in total, there are only two counts for Wilkerson. Jenck’s and Brady motions were filed by Wilkerson’s lawyers with the District Court of United States for Georgia’s middle district. Brady motions usually entail defendants seeking material witnesses who may have testimonies that favor the defendants. The Brady motion is often associated with a testimony with the potential of impeaching the government witness’ credibility. The Jenck’s motion on the other hand entails a situation where the government needs to give a verbatim report of statements by a prospective witness. This motion is often associated with documents that the government may use at a trial.
The former executives’ trail will be held in October in Albany, close to the PCA Blakely, Georgia processing plant for peanuts. The plant was the central point for outbreaks of Salmonella Typhimurium in 2008-09. The outbreak was thought to be caused by contaminated peanut paste and peanut butter, and nine people died and around 700 were sickened across the nation. The outbreak shows that food safety should be a nationwide concern.
