Prosecutor rejects claim stolen body parts aren't goods

pennlive.com

A federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania is rejecting a defense claim that stolen body parts should not be considered "goods." Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean A. Camoni called this argument "absurd" during a court hearing on Monday. Three defendants, Cedric Lodge, Joshua Taylor, and Katrina Maclean, are facing charges of conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen goods. They were indicted in 2023 and are currently awaiting trial. The defendants are trying to have their charges dismissed based on their argument about the stolen body parts. However, the prosecutor insists that the items in question hold value and meet legal definitions necessary for the charges.
