NEW YORK (Reuters) - A doctor pleaded guilty on
Thursday to stealing a severed hand, which he gave to
a stripper who displayed it in her New Jersey
apartment.
Ahmed Rashed faces five years probation for stealing
the hand in 2002 from a cadaver at a New Jersey
medical school, an assistant prosecutor for Middlesex
County said on Thursday.
Rashed practices medicine at a hospital in Los Angeles
and stole the hand while studying in New Jersey, the
prosecutor said.
The woman kept the hand in a jar of formaldehyde in
her apartment where it was discovered by police during
an unrelated investigation.
