Stewart Parnell, the former chief executive officer of the now defunct Peanut Corporation of American who is facing trial on a long list of criminal charges related to an outbreak of foodborne illness five years ago, wants his passport back.
Parnell, 58, of Lynchburg, VA gave up his U.S. passport on Feb. 28 as a condition of the bond he posted in order to stay out of jail while awaiting trial. He surrendered the passport to the U.S. Probation Office.....
........The grand jury indictment of the four defendants was unsealed on Feb. 21. The others criminally charged are Parnell’s brother Michael Parnell, former operator of the Blakely, GA peanut processing, Samuel Lightley and former quality assurance manger Mary Wilkerson.
In prior civil litigation, more than 100 sickened in the outbreak were awarded $12 million in damages.
