Philly Nurse Admits Stealing Body Parts From 244 Corpses
PHILADELPHIA — A nurse has admitted he stole body parts from 244 corpses in Philadelphia for reuse in unsuspecting patients.
Lee Cruceta of Monroe, New York, is charged as the lead cutter in a group that prosecutors say trafficked in stolen, often diseased body parts.
Prosecutors also expect accused ringleader Michael Mastromarino, of New York, to plead guilty. Three Philadelphia funeral directors are also charged.
Cruceta’s plea allows him to serve concurrent sentences in New York and Philadelphia of about six to 20 years for conspiracy, theft and other charges.

Why dont we execute people who commit such unbelievable crimes? seriously, then it wont keep happening. I think putting that many people at risk warrants the death penalty
