Lee Cruceta, 35, will do 8 to 24 years in exchange for his plea, and prosecutors will recommend he get out in eight.
Cruceta was charged with forging documents after he dissected corpses at area funeral homes.
Others charged include ringleader Michael Mastromarino and funeral-home owner Joseph Nicelli. [nypost]
i dont think (4) frum people were arrested
the sole responsiblity lies with the next of kin and funeral director that is state law
tissue recovery companies are not responsible for any paper work or consent or medical history that is provided by family or funeral dir.
also if it were not for tissue recovery companies ( transplants as a whole are difficult to come by thats why it is vital for organ donation progams like the tissue recovery had)
if anyone is to fault it is the funeral directors they are responsible for human remains until burial or crememation
lets not commend anyone until hearing all the facts
Yes, there need to be changes in this law
remember the cadavers were given
to the tissue recoveries from the funeral dir. tissue recovery companies rely of the next of kin and funeral dirc..
The one who asked isn’t there a shomer?
Yes, there is a shomer but the “shomer” was part of this sickly thing.
4 “frum” people according to newspaper reports were also arrested last yearin connection with this case.
Any person, especially a “frum” person to do this to antoher frum person should be hung and thrown out of any shul and thrown in to cheirim for life.
dont Jewish places have a shomer?
My friends mother who is Jewish was a victom of this animal, he sold some of her to an other country
Does anyone know which funeral home he has been doing this to? Was it a Jewish one?
Mark your posting was truly brilliant. Anytime you have things as bright as that to share with the blog why not write it down on a piece of paper and read it over a few dozen times. If you still deem it worthy of sharing call in a close friend and some family to read over your potential posting. Once they’ve agreed that your thought was post-worthy you should then (and only then) go ahead and post it.
As punishment, they should harvest his organs while he is still alive!
Nice.
Please pass the kishka…
