This story just goes and goes…
The wife of Harvard’s former morgue manager pleaded guilty on Friday in a Pennsylvania federal court, almost four months before she, her spouse, and others were scheduled to stand trial in a wide-ranging corpse trafficking network.
According to the plea agreement filed on Feb. 21, prosecutors stand poised to recommend Denise Lodge receive a two or three-level reduction in her offense level for acceptance of responsibility. Under the same document, however, Chief Judge Matthew W. Brann’s hands are not tied. He can choose to ignore that recommendation and even sentence Lodge to up to 10 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and supervised release of up to three years.
