What happened to Laurieanne Lamb and Jerry Sconce?
When Laurieanne and Jerry went to trial, they appealed to innocence – and pointed their finger at their son.
Extract gold teeth and other ghoulish documents “were made by their son, David,” their lawyer Edward A. Rucker said in court, Per Times. “It has resulted in a large tragedy for them, for a third -generation activity and for the families of the deceased.”
But the jury did not buy that they had no idea what happened under the nose. In April 1995, according to TimesJerry was found guilty of a counted conspiracy to remove parts and a bill of misuse of $ 100,000 in trust accounts, but not guilty to four bills to illegally remove and sell body parts from corpses before they were cremated.
Laurieanne was convicted of three out of four bills to illegally approve the removal of eyes, hearts, lungs and brains from bodies before cremation, as well as three bills of customer signatures on organ donor and cremation formation form.
They were sentenced each to three years and eight months in prison.
“They were literally doing it to steal the dead hearts and break the living hearts,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John Ouderkirk said in court. “They banned they to make money.” The couple appealed but finally served their full conditions.
Jerry died in 2019 at the age of 85. Laurieanne, now in the late 80s, leads a privacy and chose not to participate in Mortic.
