A doctor has pleaded not guilty to stealing a hand from a New Jersey medical school cadaver and giving it to an exotic dancer, authorities said.
Ahmed Rashed, a 2005 graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, was charged Monday after voluntarily returning from Los Angeles, where he is in a residency program, said his lawyer, Hassen Abdellah.
Rashed, 26, is free on $1,000 bail.
The dancer, Linda Kay, kept the hand in a jar of formaldehyde in her bedroom. Friends have said she called the hand "Freddy."
Police discovered the hand, along with six human skulls, at Kay's home in July, after being called there on a report that a roommate was suicidal. The roommate was not home, but Kay was.
Kay, 31, has pleaded not guilty to unlawful disposal of human remains. Her mother has said she believed the skulls were bought from a mail order catalog.
The left hand was taken in May or June 2002, according to an investigation by the school and South Plainfield police, said Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Judson Hamlin.
Medical school spokeswoman Anna Farneski said in a statement that the investigation is ongoing.
The charge against Rashed carries up to 10 years in prison.
Doesn't look all that goth to me.
Probably just end up with a slap on the wrist.
Wonder what he brought her from California? Come to think of it, isn't it against the muzzie faith to go to tiddy bars?
I did notice the name. I'm surprised he didn't give her a lovely necklace made of human teeth...
Wonder if she was singing... Lend me your hand and I'll sing you a song....
Not that I doubt you but....seriously??
Love the pictures! Now: was it a male or female hand? With or without jewelry?

Yes, the "hand of glory" is an old Satanist idea.
Try googling it, and you come up with plenty of references:

The tipoff is that it is a severed left hand - right hands won't do.
Way back in college, well beyond the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations I'm sure, I received a package with a return address of "Digital Products". It was a "joke" from a friend in medical school. You can guess what was inside.
Lost a lot of respect for that friend that day.
Oh, and it being big with strippers....really? Why???
Her mother has said she believed the skulls were bought from a mail order catalog.
The heroin subculture in southern NJ is deeply implicated in satanism, neo-Nazism and all sorts of other extreme, death-obsessed cultural trappings.
A detective friend of mine from south jersey remarks on how amusing it is to see, from time to time, a skinhead festooned in Nazi tattoos and paraphernalia pleading with an African-American drug dealer to sell him some heroin.
Nice advertisement for the "master race", heh?
