N.Y.C. Morgue Manager Pleads Guilty

Felix Velazquez, 55, pleaded guilty to one count of petit larceny in exchange for a sentence of 15 days of community service and a $1,000 fine.

The coffins, which usually sell for $3,000 to $5,000 retail, were donated by manufacturers for families of victims of the World Trade Center terrorist attack but weren't needed. The charities sent them to Bellevue Hospital Center for use there.

Velazquez stole the wooden and metal caskets from Bellevue and sold them for $150 to $300 each, prosecutors said.

Caning should have been part of the sentence in this case.

ACKSHULLY...An old story in the NYPD goes, that a rookie cop at a crime site saw a vet(15 years on the job) pulling a gold pinky ring off a dead crime victim. When the rook shouted "What the hell is going on here" the vet shouted "O.K. you can have the watch"!
