From the Charlotte Observer:
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected poultry processor House of Raeford Inc.'s bid to stave off criminal charges accusing the North Carolina-based company of willfully releasing turkey remains into waterways in violation of federal clean water law.
The high court denied the company's request to consider arguments that it can't be prosecuted because it's already paid nearly $1 million in pollution fines and shouldn't be punished twice. The Supreme Court's decision means the case goes back to a federal district court in Winston-Salem for trial.
A federal grand jury indicted House of Raeford and Raeford turkey processing plant manager Gregory Steenblock in 2009 on charges of violating the federal Clean Water Act. An indictment accuses the company and Steenblock of knowingly bypassing the plant's water treatment system 14 times in 2005 and 2006, dumping turkey feathers, blood and internal organs into a municipal sewage treatment plant.
