Former Arkansas mortuary worker pleads guilty to illegal transportation of body parts

An Arkansas woman pleaded guilty to transporting stolen body parts across state lines and conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Candace Chapman Scott, 37, of Little Rock entered a guilty plea before United States District Judge Brian S. Miller on April 25. Miller will sentence Scott at a later date.
