Man jailed for stolen body parts
Three men who conspired to plunder corpses and sell the sometimes diseased body parts have been sent to prison for what victims said was a gruesome, greedy scheme that violated basic principles of trust and human decency.
The mastermind of the scheme, Michael Mastromarino, was sentenced to 25 to 58 years in prison. Brothers Louis and Gerald Garzone, who provided bodies from a pair of funeral homes and a crematorium they ran in Philadelphia, will serve eight to 20 years.
