Jason Weber pled guilty to a charge of theft of government funds. At the time of the offense, Weber was serving as a postal inspector. The Court sentenced him to a two-year term of probation and ordered him to pay $65,634 in restitution. He has filed a petition for writ of coram nobis, alleging that “new evidence” suggests that his indictment may have been based on “malfeasance and mishandling of evidence” on the part of the government. In United States Of America v. Jason Weber, Case No. 14 CR 241, USDC (June 2, 2021) the USDC considered Weber’s attempt to reverse his conviction.

ZALMA OPINION

A federal police officer – a Postal Inspector – abused his profession by defrauding the USPS insurance facility by using his profession to take his fake, insured, posts from the stream of mail and then profited from making claims for lost insured mail. He was caught and pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced. With buyers remorse Weber then accused his ex-wife and his prosecutor with the crime to which he pleaded guilty and had the unmitigated gall to file a petition corum nobis to expunge his conviction with a frivolous, undocumented claim that his ex-wife and his prosecutor were the actual criminals. No one likes being convicted but to try to change a plea of guilt by accusing an ex-wife and a prosecutor is simply a waste of time and should never have been put in the hands of a judge.
